Make plans now to celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (traditionally known as “Corpus Christi“) on June 2 in your parish.
Resources are available from the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions to assist you in preparing Mass and worship outside of Mass (including a Eucharistic procession) on this solemnity.
Consider organizing a group of parishioners to attend the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis July 17-21.
Consider using some of the resources of the TOGETHER initiative in your bulletin, social media, homily, or other means.
This is also a fitting day to commission extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion. You can find a ritual text for this on the ODWS website in both English and Spanish. Also, please don’t forget to send the names of newly-trained and commissioned EMsHC to the ODWS so they can be authorized by Archbishop Schnurr.
If you have questions or need support to celebrate this solemnity well in your parish, contact the ODWS.
