TeresaBenedicta Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Just curious. My parish has one every year. We go processing through the downtown of our little city. Some funny looks from those in town, lol. But it's awesome. We generally stop at a few altars for benediction. First communicates spread rose petals. 20 some altar boys. It's awesome. Can't wait for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin D Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 4th Degree members in our council will be dressed in full regalia during the procession, we tend to hold the canopy over the monstrance containing the Eucharist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puellapaschalis Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 The Dutch bishops also transfer the feast to Sunday and tomorrow there's a Diocesan day at a local martyrdom site; they'll have a procession with the relics of our diocesan patron. At the parish we'll have a procession...[i]inside the church[/i]. I guess we're not brave enough to show our Catholic faces on the streets just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilde Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Yup. In the choir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 We do it when the weather cooperates, and it is supposed to be 27 degrees tomorrow (that's 80 degrees American), so we will make our procession past the prostitutes and drug dealers. That always gets their attention. We also have a big one downtown at the basilica later in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlesister Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 We have a beautiful one in the streets around our seaport parish, which is Italian / Croatian / Hispanic / Filippino / and Anglo of just about every other background on earth! Weekend Masses are in four languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 We have a diocesan celebration (pizza supper and catechesis for youth, then Mass at Notre Dame basilica, procession to and benediction at St. Patrick's basilica) on Thursday, and Mass at our parish on Sunday (in Canada, the feast is transfered to Sunday). This year the diocese sent out a couple of questions to all the parishes on whether they did anything special to celebrate Corpus Christi. I'm not sure of the purpose of the questions, though.

Hilde Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Ours was canceled for logistics reasons. At least I got to witness the Polish one on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winchester Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 No, I'm in Matagorda. Corpus isn't too far away, but I won't be going there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excelsior1027 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 We had one around the outside of the church, so people could see us on the street. We had altar servers and a canopy, two altars to stop at and then benediction inside the church. It was pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inunionwithrome Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Oh, that is so nice. I wish we had one here. When my dad was a boy, he was an altar server and he got to serve with Bishop Tullin? in Mobile and they walked the streets and always had a big procession. They did have altar server training yesterday though. It was the weekend of graduations here and so many other competing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
