Following this sacred act of faith, we took our devotion to the streets in a powerful Eucharistic Procession.

It was an incredible witness to see so many generations walking together, proclaiming the Real Presence of Jesus in our community.

🪙 Our Altar Servers for assisting so beautifully throughout the liturgy.

🇻🇦 Seminarian Josue and Seminarian Steve for their dedicated support and assistance in the liturgy.

👥 The many parishioners who came out to pray, sing, and walk with us.

Thank you to everyone who partook in this historic milestone for our country and our Church.

Let us continue to lift up our great nation in prayer, asking that the Sacred Heart of Jesus guide our leaders, strengthen our families, and bring healing to our land.Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us and on our nation!

At every Mass, heaven touches earth.

On Corpus Christi, we celebrate the incredible gift of the Eucharist, Jesus Christ truly present among us.

The same Lord who walked with His disciples now comes to us in the breaking of the bread. He feeds us, strengthens us, and sends us out to love and serve others.
