A huge thanks to all who assisted and participated in yesterday's Corpus Christi Procession. May it encourage our parish family to continue to walk together following Christ who guides, nourishes and transforms us.

"The historical memory of the Corpus Christi processions is not confined to wistful nostalgia. Instead, it stands as an invitation in the present moment, in our daily lives, in our relationships, in society, and in the building of the future."
- Pope Leo XIV (Madrid, 7 June 2026)
