Feast of Corpus Christi

The family of St. Gerald invited you to our Corpus Christi Mass and Procession on Sunday, June 19th at the 11 am Mass. 

The name Corpus Christi is Latin for the Body of Christ. The jubilant festival is celebrated by Roman Catholics and other Christians to proclaim the truth of the transubstantiation of bread and wine into the actual body of Christ during Mass.

The procession is the highlight and focus of the feast day and you’re invited to take part in the procession. Weather permitting, there will be 4 outdoor altars decorated by our ministries. During the procession, we will stop at each altar for prayers to the Blessed Sacrament presented in the monstrance.

Children ages 6 - 12 are welcome to participate in the front of the formal procession. First Communicants are encouraged to wear their dresses and suits.
