SSS Celebrations Across the Country for the Most Holy Body & Blood of Christ
Each year, the Church’s solemnity for the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ awakens and shares our Eucharistic charism and the gift of processions with the Blessed Sacrament. We continue the tradition of our holy founder, Saint Peter Julian Eymard, to share the Eucharistic mystery – the Body and Blood of Christ – with the world, especially when we can have processions of the Blessed Sacrament.
