Corpus Christi Catholic Church is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Saint Augustine, located in St. Augustine, Florida. The parish takes its name from the feast of Corpus Christi (the Body and Blood of Christ), a solemnity of the Catholic Church honoring the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
Established in 1975, the parish serves Catholics in the southern portion of Saint Johns County, an area that has seen substantial residential growth in the decades since its founding. Corpus Christi is administered by diocesan clergy and functions as a territorial rather than a personal or national parish.
The parish community gathers for regular Sunday and daily Mass, sacramental preparation, and various ministries reflecting the Eucharistic devotion at the heart of its name and mission.

Specific details regarding the parish's founding pastor, its first church structure, and subsequent building campaigns are not documented in publicly available sources.
