Celebration of Corpus Christi



The afternoon of June 6 saw a dedicated group of parishioners gather to celebrate the feast of Corpus Christi, commemorating the institution of the Holy Eucharist, the Body of Christ, made present in the Mass. The celebration began with a procession led by Father Gene Emrisek who carried the Holy Eucharist in a Monstrance. The group walked while reciting the Rosary in both English and Spanish, pausing at each of four altars to pray and sing in adoration of the Holy Eucharist. The procession returned to the church, concluding the celebration with Benediction and the singing of hymns. It is hoped that this beautiful ceremony will become an annual event.
