EUCHARISTIC OCTAVE AND PROCESSION

This coming week sees the Westminster Eucharistic Octave, 11th to 19th September, a week of celebration of our Sacramental Life at the Altar, beginning with a Pontifical Mass with Cardinal Nichols at noon this Saturday, at Corpus Christi Maiden Lane, the Diocesan Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament. During the coming week, Holy Mass in various Catholic rites offered each day at 6.30 pm, with homily, in the same church. Full details are HERE.  The Octave follows the International Eucharistic Congress held in Budapest this week.

The week concludes with the London Corpus Christi Procession, which the Order has assisted with over several years, starting at 3.30pm on Sunday 19th September at the Assumption Warwick Street W1B 5LZ, with stations at Farm Street, and the Ukrainian Cathedral Duke Street, at each of which Benediction will be given, and concluding with pontifical Benediction in St James's Spanish Place, and the wonderful Mendelssohn Lauda Sion.

In preparation for the Octave, the Diocese of Westminster has prepared a podcast, linked HERE or click below.

Lauda Sion Salvatorem, in hymnis et canticis;

Ecce Panis Angelorum, datur manna patribus.
