Feast of Corpus Christi – Sunday 7th of June 2026.

The Feast of Corpus Christi is also known as the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, Pope Urban IV declared Corpus Christi a feast day on August 11, 1264. Early Eucharistic festivals were glamorous affairs involving entire towns and cities. Sovereigns and nobles in European Catholic monarchies participated in the celebrations, accompanied by court officials and military officers. Commoners knelt outside their homes as these grand processions walked by. In modern times, Pope John Paul II led annual parades on the feast day, moving from St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican and through the streets of Rome. The Feast of Corpus Christi remains one of the essential celebrations underscoring the fundamental tenets of Christianity and Catholicism.

The annual Corpus Christi Procession, from St. Senan’s Parish Church to St. Aidan’s Cathedral takes place this Sunday 7th of June beginning at 3pm..
