On Sunday we will celebrate the Feast of Corpus Christi ( Corpus et Sanguis Christi). The Feast should have been on Thursday but is now moved to Sunday. Will the feast be marked by a procession in any of our members' parishes?

The Corpus Christi procession represents the typical form of an Eucharistic procession. It is a prolongation of the celebration of the Eucharist: immediately after Mass, the Sacred Host, consecrated during the Mass, is borne out of the Church for the Christian faithful "to make public profession of faith and worship of the Most Blessed Sacrament"
The faithful understand and appreciate the values inherent in the procession: they are aware of being "the People of God", journeying with the Lord, and proclaiming faith in him who has become truly "God-amongst-us".
