Corpus Christi Procession at the Cathedral

Posted

Msgr. Robert T. Ritchie, rector of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, carries a monstrance containing the Blessed Sacrament at the cathedral’s Corpus Christi Procession June 21. The procession followed the vigil for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ and concluded with the Litany of the Sacred Heart and Benediction. The faithful reverently pray in acknowledgement of Catholics’ belief in the Real Presence, that Jesus is truly present, body, blood, soul and divinity, in the bread and wine of the Holy Eucharist.
