The
Body and Blood of Christ
As we receive the ‘Body of Christ’
(Corpus Christi) today at our Mass, remember
that God is putting himself into our outstretched
hands or tongues. He is placing Himself
in our care this week so that we can recognize
and respond to Him present in those starved
of greeting or affection, in the youth who
need adult leaders and example, in the elderly,
the infirm, the needy – we truly celebrate
Corpus Christi. Today as he is paraded gorgeously
through our city in procession, a time to
wonder: if we really believed what we claim,
we would genuflect to the tabernacle and
then to each other.
Corpus
Christi Procession
There
will be a
Corpus Christi Procession
today starting from
Dominican Convent, Falls Road
at 3pm to the Cathedral for Benediction.
You are invited to take part in this long
tradition of carrying the Blessed Sacrament
through our City.
O
Sacrament most Holy
O Sacrament Divine
All praise and all thanksgiving
Be every moment thine.

In
Memory of Fr. Beagon
Since Fr. Beagon’s death on
23rd May, many parishioners have
said they would welcome an opportunity
to demonstrate, in some tangible
way, their regard for him and their
appreciation of his devoted service
to the parish. It has been suggested
that parishioners may like to make
a voluntary donation – the
proceeds of which be divided between
a gift to Fr. Beagon’s parish
in Nigeria and something dedicated
to his memory, for use in our Church.
This will be considered during the
summer months and will take place
September/October time.
Fr.
Beagons’s Months Mind will
take place on Wednesday 27th June
at 7.30pm.
