Some go on a walk around the block if they have residential streets. At my home parish, as we are at the corner of 2 very busy main streets, and there is no "circular" area, the procession exits the church, remains on parish property, travels through the parish cemetary and back into the church. Usually a rosary and divine mercy are prayed, with maybe a couple Eucharistic hymns. <br /><br />There are some parishes that process from one parish to the next, and one, I think that goes from the LIttle Sisters of the Poor's chapel to the Basilica or something like that.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-79894239957548758162010-05-07T12:41:57.303-07:002010-05-07T12:41:57.303-07:00As a parishioner, I'd be happy to participate ...As a parishioner, I'd be happy to participate in such a procession but I don't know how hard it would be to arrange. Unfortunately, the burden falls on you, Father, as well as our parochial vicar and our deacon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-79143616591667795822010-05-07T10:37:17.091-07:002010-05-07T10:37:17.091-07:00We used to belong to a parish that did this annual...We used to belong to a parish that did this annually. The advantage was that it was nestled into a lovely neighborhood heavy with parishioners. Folks would prepare their yards and make little shrines to welcome the Eucharistic Lord. We had a trumpet player in the parish and he would play while we sang hymns. <br /><br />I can see that the logistics would be much more difficult in our current parish but I'm sure something could be creatively worked out. Definitely worth the effort! I often tell the kids about those processions. We had only one then and he doesn't remember being in the stroller.<br /><br />Here's a link to a nice handmade canopy. It seems likely that every parish has at least one individual as talented. http://family-centered.com/life/finished-2/melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08677295427283294982noreply@blogger.com
