Please be patient; photos may take a few moments to download. In the annual Corpus Christi Procession, we bring the Blessed Sacrament out of the Cathedral and on to the streets of the city. Jubilate! Young Women's Ensemble accompanies the procession with song.  "Jesus here present, our living savior, grant us your mercy, show us your favor!" Youth ushers help guide the way. (A huge thank you to all the dedicated Cathedral ushers who make this complicated procession seem easy!) Children who made their first communion last Sunday scatter flower petals which form a beautiful carpet for Jesus! Women of the Cathedral Choir. Along the route, the Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion pray a litany in honor of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. At the center of the procession, Father Ryan carries the Blessed Sacrament, exposed in a monstrance.  An antique canopy from the Cathedral's early days gives honor to the Blessed Sacrament. Tyrone Heade and the Elliott Bay Pipe Band are an important part of this annual tradition. The procession concludes with Benediction on the steps of Cathedral Place. In spite of the dire forecasts, the weather couldn't have been more beautiful! In his homily for today, Father Ryan quoted the great St. John Chrysostom:  "Do you wish to honor the body of Christ?  Do not neglect it when you find it naked.  Do not do it homage here in the church with gold and incense and silk fabrics, only to neglect it outside where it suffers cold and nakedness.”       804 Ninth Avenue Seattle, Washington  98104 Phone 206.622.3559  Fax 206.622.5303
