Corpus Christi Mass (11th June 12pm)
come join us
Corpus Christi Mass (in the Church)
You are invited to join us for a special Corpus Christi Mass on Sunday 11th June at 12pm.
After the Mass there will be a special procession where we journey with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
It’s a time to renew our faith in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and to commit ourselves anew to love of Jesus.
After the Mass there is a gathering in the Parish Hall where the children of our Parish who have received their First Holy Communion this year will receive a memento of this special occasion.
