1 June 7, 2015 The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ HOLY TRINITY CATHOLIC CHURCH A Stewardship Parish Pastor Father Dennis Koshko Deacon Dan Guinaugh Deacon Steve Kula EMERGENCY NUMBER PARISH OFFICE: MISSION STATEMENT The Mission of Holy Trinity Catholic Church is to be one with each other and with Christ in the Father so that the Holy Spirit may make Christ known to the world in us through Word and Sacrament, Prayer and service. What the Bible says is really true it s better to give than to receive.

2 EUCHARISTIC PROCESSIONS Paul Turner The Body of Christ under the form of bread may be carried in solemn procession through public streets. The practice, more frequent in past generations and among certain ethnic groups, is still encouraged. A Eucharistic procession forms after Mass or after a period of adoration. It is especially appropriate on the solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ. Usually a priest places a large, unbroken, consecrated host inside a glass protector called a lunette. He then inserts the lunette into a monstrance. A monstrance is a beautifully crafted vessel that draws attention to the host. The priest, vested for Mass or wearing a white cope, holds the monstrance aloft. Ministers carrying lights and incense join him. Additional ministers may carry a canopy above the priest and the monstrance. The faithful join the procession, singing hymns and offering prayers as they walk. The procession may pause at stations decorated for the occasion, where the priest blesses the faithful with the monstrance. Ideally, the procession begins at one church and ends at another, where the priest gives a final benediction and reposes the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle, Alternatively, the procession may return to the church from which it began. Eucharistic processions evangelize the civic community, as Catholic witness there faith. Throughout the 20th century the faithful began sharing communion at Mass more frequently than they did before, and many eucharistic devotions faded. The main reason Jesus gave his body and blood was for us to take, eat and drink. Although some eucharistic devotions are rarely seen, it is more important to see the faithful sharing communion at Mass.
