Procession of the Blessed Sacrament
Year of the Eucharist

Walk with Christ on Sunday 23 October 2005

Be part of this historical event to mark the conclusion of the Year of the Eucharist.

Bishops of Sydney will lead the procession, carrying the Monstrance as well as the relics of St Margaret Mary Alacoque, flown in from France specially for this event.

Starting from St Patrick's Church Hill, the procession will travel along Hunter Street and Macquarie Street ending on the forecourt of St Marys Cathedral.

Join in the hymns and prayers along the route, broadcast on FM 90.9 radio.

The procession will culminate at St Mary’s Cathedral with the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and Solemn Benediction.

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.
