Sacra Liturgia Day 4, Corpus Christi Mass and Procession

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

Yesterday, the Sacra Liturgia Conference ended with a splendid Solemn Mass of the Feast of Corpus Christi at St. Catherine of Siena Church. Most Reverend Joseph Perry, Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago was celebrant, and Most Reverend John J. O’Hara, Auxiliary Bishop of New York was homilist. David Hughes directed a choir combined of the Schola Dominicana of the Church of St. Catherine of Siena and the Schola Cantorum of St. Mary Church, Norwalk, CT.

After Mass, there was a eucharistic procession in the streets, first to the Church of St. John Nepomucene on First Avenue and 66th Street and then to the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer on Lexington and 65th Street.

One witness said: 
Hearing those hundreds of voices sing “Jesus, My Lord, My God, My All,” while coming up 66th Street was other-worldly as it bounced off the concrete walls of the canyon. But the kicker was an NYPD officer that was part of the traffic detail.
He said to me, “Do you realize the peace you’ve brought here?” He pointed to the way people were stopped and taking it all in. He was impressed and genuinely moved.

Another witness:
The procession was magical. We clearly need more of those. Stopping traffic on 1st, 2nd, 3rd Ave — amazing! It almost felt like this “new evangelization” one hears about from time to time…
