The Diocese of Corpus Christi hosted the bi-annual Staff Day of Reflection at St. Thomas Aquinas Newman Center and Chapel on May 11, 2017, with retreat master Reverend Patrick Martin. This year's theme was "God's Love in Our Broken Lives." Reverend Martin spoke on who God is, His forgiving love, Mary in our broken lives, and His redeeming love. Mass was celebrated with Bishop Michael Mulvey, alongside priests and deacons present at the day of reflection.
