Join us Sunday, June 2 for our Corpus Christi Procession following the 11:00am Mass. The words “CORPUS CHRISTI” mean “Body of Christ”. This solemnity marks with particular emphasis the doctrine of Christ’s real presence— body, blood, soul, and divinity in the Holy Eucharist. A Corpus Christi procession usually begins after the celebration of Mass, at which the host for the procession is consecrated and placed in a monstrance. The Blessed Sacrament is then carried out of the church, accompanied by the hymns and prayers of the people. Often there is a altar decorated along the route where the monstrance is placed and the people are blessed. In this way the Church shows that Christ, here among us, walks with us on our pilgrimage to heaven. Please join after the procession in the Parish Hall for popsicles and lemonade.
