Sydney's Annual Procession of the Blessed Sacrament Feast of Corpus Christi

Walk with Christ on Sunday 14 June 2009 at 2.30pm

Walk with Christ has become a beautiful tradition for the city of Sydney. Come and join thousands of Catholic faithful as they walk in procession and witness to the presence of Jesus Christ in our world today. The Bishops will lead the Procession carrying the Blessed Sacrament. We need your voices! Join us to sing, pray and share our faith. Cardinal Pell will conclude the ceremony with Solemn Benediction.

Starting at 2:30pm at St Patrick's Church Hill (near Wynyard Station), the procession will travel along Grosvenor St, George St, Hunter St, Elizabeth St ending at St Mary's Cathedral.

This special event of prayer and adoration will be accompanied by various choirs, including The Seminary of the Good Shepherd. You can join in the hymns and prayers along the route, which will also be simulcast on 90.9FM.

The Procession will culminate at St Mary’s Cathedral, with the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and Solemn Benediction. Participants will be able to join in prayers from the spacious Piazza.

Prayers are expected to conclude at 4:30pm.

So don’t miss this uplifting event! Bring family, friends and a radio, and walk with Christ and share our faith.

There is a particular need to cultivate a lively awareness of Christ’s real presence, both in the celebration of Mass and in the worship of the Eucharist outside Mass.
