Join our Corpus Christi Procession, Sunday, June 22

Assumption and St. Juan Diego Parishes are called to come together on the afternoon of Sunday, June 22, to celebrate The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, also known as the Feast of Corpus Christi. Parishioners of all ages are invited to participate in a one-mile procession to celebrate the importance of the Real Presence in the Eucharist, while publicly affirming their faith.

Participants should meet at noon at the front doors of St. Juan Diego Parish (formerly St. Barnabas Church). We will join their parishioners as they begin the procession at the end of their 11AM Mass. Together as a group, we will process down Main St. towards Assumption, singing Eucharistic songs and hymns before stopping twice to pray. Altars will be set up at the Jehling's Hardware parking lot and Len's Auto Repair, as we proclaim the Word of God and give a Eucharistic blessing. The procession ends with benediction in our Chapel, where the Blessed Sacrament is reposed and placed in the tabernacle. At the end of Assumption's noon Mass, those present can process over to the chapel as the procession from St. Juan Diego arrives.

After the procession, everyone is encouraged to stay and enjoy light refreshments in the Assumption Parish Center, located below the Church. Drivers are also needed to assist with carpooling after the event.
