When I was a kid, the Catholic Community of St. Cloud, Minnesota, celebrated the Feast of Corpus Christi with a major procession which began at the park near the hospital and ended at the track next to the North gymnasium of Cathedral High School where we had benediction. Along the way people would decorate their houses, sometimes rather elaborately. We had a band playing as we sang hymns, the Knights of Columbus serving as an honor guard and the Bishop carrying the Blessed Sacrament under a beautiful canopy.
During our Turning Our Gaze to Christ event a few weekends ago we processed with the Blessed Sacrament along Center Street in Rochester, Minnesota as we moved from morning Mass at St. John the Evangelist Parish to the Civic Center where the event was to take place. A small room was set aside for adoration throughout the event. It was a great witness of faith to the city.
