As we continue to celebrate the National Eucharistic Revival, everyone is invited to join us for our Corpus Christi Mass and Procession on Sunday, June 2, 2024. Come to the 10:30 a.m. Mass at the Cathedral of St. Joseph, followed by a Procession of the Blessed Sacrament, with police escort, through the city streets of Wheeling to St. Alphonsus Church, Market Street. Upon arrival at St. Alphonsus, Benediction will be celebrated in the church, followed by a free catered meal in the parish gymnasium.The custom of carrying the Blessed Sacrament in a splendid procession through town after the Mass on Corpus Christi has been part of the Church since the early fourteenth century. This practice was encouraged by the popes, some of whom granted special indulgences to all participants.
All are invited and encouraged to participate in the Corpus Christi Mass and Eucharistic Procession as we walk with Jesus through the City of Wheeling!
