CORPUS CHRISTI EUCHARISTIC PROCESSION – JUNE 7

Join us as a parish family in celebrating the Solemnity of Corpus Christi on Sunday, June 7, with a Eucharistic Procession immediately following the 10:00 a.m. Holy Mass.

This beautiful public witness of our faith is an opportunity to walk with Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, offering our prayers for our parish, our families, and our community. Let us come together in reverence, gratitude, and love for the gift of the Holy Eucharist.

Everyone is warmly invited to participate in this special time of prayer and devotion. Come, let us accompany Jesus and proclaim with joy that He is truly present among us.
