Description
You’re invited to participate in the CIC’s Second Annual Eucharistic Procession in Our Nation’s Capital on the morning of Saturday, May 18, 2024. We’ll begin with Mass at the Catholic Information Center, where we hold the closest tabernacle to the White House. Then we will bring Christ’s Real Presence onto the streets of our downtown DC neighborhood before returning to the CIC. Join us as we pray especially for our country.
Spread the word to your family, friends, and parishioners to come for a very special morning of prayer. The schedule will be finalized in the coming months so check back here for updates.
What is a Eucharistic Procession?
The Eucharist is the source and summit of the whole Christian life. A Eucharistic Procession, therefore, is a public witness of the veneration toward the most holy Eucharist, conducted through public streets. It takes place in this way: A consecrated host – that is, the real and substantial presence of Jesus Christ: body, blood, soul and divinity – is placed within a monstrance, which is then lifted and carried by a priest who leads the faithful in procession.
