Eucharistic Procession on June 3

NEXT WEEKEND, June 2/3, the parish will celebrate the solemnity of The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi).  A Eucharistic Procession will be offered immediately following the 10:30 am Mass.

 The Blessed Sacrament will be carried in solemn procession, circling our church property, pausing at a station where Fr. Kirk will bless the faithful with the monstrance.  After returning to the nave, Fr. Kirk will give the final benediction and repose the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle.

________________________________

What is a Eucharistic Procession?

A Eucharistic procession is a festive, ancient practice which expresses outwardly our love of Christ present in the Blessed Sacrament, and is commonly held on or near the solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, or on a parish feast day.  The procession gives us an opportunity to share Christ’s presence with the community around us, as this Presence is for the whole world.

Immediately following Mass, the Blessed Sacrament is placed in the monstrance, and the solemn procession moves from the church, around our church building, stopping briefly at stations for prayer.  The goal of these stations is to help people remain focused on the Lord.  Upon returning to the nave, final benediction is given, and the Blessed Sacrament is reposed.

Join us on June 3, at 10:30 Mass, for the Eucharist and the Eucharistic Procession to follow, celebrating The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.  If you attend another Mass time that weekend, join us for the Procession, beginning at about 11:30 am!
