Q: What is a Eucharistic procession?
A: The Eucharist is the source and summit of Christian life. A Eucharistic procession is a public witness of the adoration of the holy Eucharist, conducted through public streets. A consecrated host – the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ – is placed within a monstrance. It is lifted and carried by a priest who leads the faithful in procession. Like a pilgrimage, a Eucharistic procession normally starts at one holy place and ends at another. This earthly journey reminds the Catholic faithful of their spiritual journey toward eternal life.
Q: How long will it take to get to the cathedral?
A: The procession will take about an hour; a bus will be available at the midway point for participants who can’t walk the full route.
Q: What can parish groups bring?
A: Participants can bring banners to represent their parish.
Q: What is available at Bishop McGuinness Catholic High School before the procession?
A: Several food trucks will be available; $5 food voucher per person provided (while supplies last); entertainment.
Q: What will happen at the cathedral?
A: Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament will take place outside of the Connor Center, which will be open with air conditioning, restrooms and water.
Q: How will participants get back to the high school?
A: Buses and shuttles will be available at the cathedral to return participants to parking areas.
Q: Can parishes have their own Corpus Christi Eucharistic procession this year?
A: Yes, parishes can have their own Corpus Christi procession. They are encouraged to participate in a special way in this archdiocesan Eucharistic procession as the kick-off for the National Eucharistic Revival in the archdiocese.
