Assumption and St. Juan Diego Parishes are called to come together on the afternoon of Sunday, June 7, 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), or join St. Juan Diego for their 11AM Mass in Spanish. The procession will begin at the the end of their Mass. Together as a group, we will process down Main St. towards Assumption, singing Eucharistic songs and hymns before stopping twice to pray. Two altars will be set up along the route where we will 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.

After the procession, everyone is encouraged to stay and enjoy Hospitality Sunday in the Parish Center. We will be serving donuts, coffee, milk, and juice. Drivers are also needed to assist with carpooling parishioners back to St. Juan Diego after the event.
