Processions: then and nowBy Jean FarrellRecently Saints Peter and Paul’s Parish held a Corpus Christi Procession. I said that God would be leaving the church and coming with us through the streets of our town. The Altar boys, in their cassocks and surplices, lead the procession, followed by the girls who were strewing rose petals, wearing their Communion dresses. It was very different from the small procession I walked in last week. However, I have great admiration for the good priests who must struggle on, trying to keep the show on the road.
