St. Joseph Church celebrated the Corpus Christi Procession today. The procession began at the church, down 44th Street to the Promenade and down the promenade stopping at 43rd Street for prayer. Dating back to 1264, the Corpus Christi procession is a public affirmation of faith, where believers process the Real Presence of Jesus—the Eucharist—through the streets, expressing their devotion to Christ in this sacred sacrament. It’s a beautiful way to honor the significance of the Eucharist in the life of the Church and its members. 🙏🏼
