Corpus Christi Procession
June 7, 2026
Corpus Christi video is also on YouTube
For many years our Parish has participated in an annual procession of the Holy Eucharist on Corpus Christi Sunday. These processions for Corpus Christi originated in Germany around 1275. By 1350, as the feast had become a universal practice, so too had the processions, during which a cleric carries a consecrated host in a Eucharistic vessel, often covered by a canopy, with the faithful following.
“let us celebrate with particular devotion the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, with its traditional procession. Our faith in the God who took flesh in order to become our companion along the way needs to be everywhere proclaimed, especially in our streets and homes, as an expression of our grateful love and as an inexhaustible source of blessings”
Pope St. John Paul II 2005 Apostolic Letter Mane Nobiscum Domine
