In celebration of the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, over one hundred Catholic faithful, led by priests and deacons of the Together in Christ Catholic Family of Parishes, took part in the Corpus Christi Procession on the beautiful grounds of our Sacred Heart of Jesus Diocesan Shrine in Bowmansville, NY. this past Sunday. This was an opportunity to publicly proclaim what we believe as Catholics, that we personally and joyfully believe that Christ is truly present in the Eucharist and is deserving of public honor and adoration. The procession stopped at five altars set up by our family of parishes which represent the corners of the world.
Corpus Christi was instituted in the year 1264, as a universal Feast Day in our Catholic tradition. It is a public act of worship in procession with the Blessed Sacrament in the monstrance, including prayer and song, communicating what we believe as Catholics that the Eucharist is the Real Presence of Jesus.
