Blessed Sacrament Procession (posted 08/06/2010)

After several hot and sunny days in the past week, Sunday, June 6th, dawned overcast and cloudy, and by the time of the start of our annual Blessed Sacrament Procession, it was raining.  Normally we like to process around the outside of the church, with a Benediction beside the tomb of John and Josephine Bowes, patrons of the church, before returning to the church for a further Benediction.  Not being able to go outside because of the rain, we stayed inside the church and made our procession around the inside of the church, singing very strongly hymns to the Blessed Sacrament.  Here are a few photos of the procession.

 Afterwards, tea and coffee was served in the presbytery (soft drinks for the youngsters).  There was also lots of time for conversation.  These are just a few of the people present on this occasion.
