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

Walk with Christ on Sunday 25 May 2008 at 2.30pm

2008 is a very special year for Sydney. We welcome Pope Benedict XVI, we celebrate World Youth Day, and on Sunday 25th May thousands of Catholics will Walk with Christ in a Procession through the streets of Sydney. The Bishops will lead the Procession carrying the Blessed Sacrament. We need your voices! Come sing, pray and share our faith. Cardinal Pell will conclude the ceremony with Solemn Benediction.

The Bishops of Sydney will lead the Procession, carrying the Blessed Sacrament.

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 90.9 FM radio.

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.

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.

Pope John Paul II, Mane Nobiscum Domine, n. 18.
