CORPUS CHRISTI PROCESSION

Join us for our Corpus Christi procession on Sunday, June 22, 2025, right after the 5:00 PM Mass.

The Corpus Christi feast celebrates the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, emphasizing the significance of Holy Communion. The procession is a public demonstration of faith, where participants carry the Blessed Sacrament through the streets, fostering community and devotion.

The Feast of Corpus Christi was established in the 13th century, primarily through the efforts of St. Juliana of Liège, who envisioned a day dedicated to honoring the Eucharist. Pope Urban IV formally instituted the feast in 1264, emphasizing the importance of the Eucharist and its central role in Catholic worship, which included the tradition of outdoor processions to publicly proclaim faith in the real presence of Christ.
