Last year on May 20, 2023, the closest tabernacle to the White House got a little closer with 700 souls processing behind Christ’s Real Presence through the streets of downtown Washington. View this video montage of moments from the first CIC Eucharistic procession in 2023:

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 of 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.
