Today we came together to celebrate Corpus Christi. We had a wonderful turnout in our parish and prayed together for peace.

The Corpus Christi procession is a very old tradition dating back to the 13th century. Along the procession route, people would stop and pray at different altars. In many rural communities, prayers were offered for farmers, fishermen, and fine weather.

Today, we followed in the footsteps of our ancestors. We give thanks for the faith they passed down to us, for the care they showed for the environment, for the value they placed on family and community, and above all for their deep love of the Eucharist.

Whether you are a regular member of the parish, belong to another faith tradition, or have no faith background, you are most welcome to be part of this joyful occasion.

As we walk together and pray for peace, we celebrate the values that unite us: community, hope, kindness, and care for one another. It has been many years since we have had the opportunity to celebrate Corpus Christi with a parish procession, and we would be delighted to share this special day with you.

Thank God for the glorious sunshine.
The children enjoyed time together basking in the sun.

"Here comes the sun, doo-doo-do
Here comes the sun
And I say, "It's all right"

Little darlin'
The smile's returning to the faces
Little darlin'
It seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say, "It's all right"
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes"

- The Beatles

Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit,
That my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit,
That my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit,
That I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit,
To defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit,
That I always may be holy.
Amen.

Looking forward to welcoming everyone tomorrow to the Children's Rosary at 3pm in the Church Baptisery.

Everyone is welcome.
