Saint John Paul II reminded us that the Church “does not only celebrate the Eucharist but solemnly bears it in procession, publicly proclaiming that the sacrifice of Christ is for the salvation of the whole world.”

Today in Haiti we celebrate the beautiful feast of the Body and Blood of Christ. After the beautiful Mass and excellent homily by Bishop Erick Glandas the Eucharistic procession began. The Felician Mission was the first station.

Preparations began the day before with cleaning up the street. Then early in the morning before dawn we began to set up.

The procession was filled with First Holy Communion children and those who received Confirmation in May.

Emmanuel, God with us in the streets and among God’s people!
