A DISPLAY OF UNITY


In the wake of ongoing racial injustice and social unrest, it is important for us to join together, in unity, to honor the Lord on the Feast of the Body and Blood of the Lord (Corpus Christi). The Eucharist is the source and summit of the whole Christian life. A Eucharistic Procession, therefore, is a public witness of our veneration toward the most holy Eucharist, conducted through public streets. 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 with God.

In countries around the world, Eucharistic Processions incorporate rich cultural traditions with colorful outfits, music, and drums. Processions powerfully display the incarnation, or God becoming human, and thus speak of his merciful love for all who journey to eternal life with him.

By joining our parish communities together and processing over I-94 and through the Rondo Neighborhood, we remember the racial divides and injustices that continue to harm our community. By taking part in the procession, we commit ourselves again to following Christ in our lives. As brothers and sisters in our Eucharistic Lord, we ask the Lord’s blessing for healing, justice, and peace.
