Corpus Christi Procession (Bowmansville)

Sacred Heart of Jesus Diocesan Shrine in Bowmansville and its family of parishes will hold a Corpus Christi celebration and procession at 2 pm. Sunday, June 7, on the grounds of the shrine, 5337 Genesee St., Bowmansville.

Corpus Christi was instituted in the year 1264 as a universal Feast Day in our Catholic tradition. It is a public act of worship in procession with the Blessed Sacrament in the monstrance, including prayer and song, communicating what we believe as Catholics that the Eucharist is the Real Presence of Jesus. This is an opportunity to publicly proclaim what we believe as Catholics, showing that we personally believe joyfully that He is truly present in the Eucharist and is deserving of public honor and adoration.
