What’s On
Corpus Christi Procession
What a beautiful day for our parishioners and school children to publicly and reverently honour the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist; the source and summit of our Christian life.
Following Mass, all were invited to take part in a Corpus Christi procession, around the grounds. The Monstrance gleamed in the sunshine, as the children appropriately sang ‘Shine, Jesus, Shine’!
This was followed by Benediction on their return to church.
Each class had brought a posy of flowers which were laid in front of the altar.
