On June 6th we will celebrate the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. This Solemn celebration reminds us that a precious gift has been entrusted to us in the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We are also reminded that the Lord who is truly and really present in the Blessed Sacrament has the power to transform the world!
Tradition has it that on Corpus Christi we take this precious gift of the Eucharist and we bring it to the world. We share it with our neighbours in a simple yet solemn way. The Corpus Christi Procession is an act of devotion and an act of faith. We allow the Lord who is truly present in the Eucharist to walk the streets of our Community - allowing him to touch our brothers and sisters.
I invite us all to participate in this year’s Corpus Christi Procession. The Procession will start immediately following the 12.30 p.m. Mass. We will then process along Durie Road to Bristol Road, making a stop on Bristol Road and continuing onward towards St. Joseph Elementary School where Benediction will be celebrated. Refreshments and Fellowship will follow.
Please note that there will be a shuttle service between St. Joseph’s Elementary School and our Parish Church to assist those who might not be able to walk back.
