New York City Eucharistic Procession



When you think of New York you probably don't think Eucharistic adoration, but that's exactly what happened on May 27 when some 4000 people processed through Times Square for two hours with the Blessed Sacrament.




What may have been the city's largest ever Eucharistic procession was led by Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Espaillat of the Archdiocese of New York who told the faithful: “¡Esta es mi ciudad! ¡Esta es nuestra ciudad! ¡Esta ciudad es de Jesucristo!” (This is my city! This is our city! This city is Jesus Christ’s’!)




They in turn knelt and adored in the midst of Mammon. “I have never seen anything like that before, especially in New York,” commented Photojournalist Jeffrey Bruno on social media.




Yes indeed, especially in New York. The procession, with its remarkable witness to the Faith, was organized by St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church and the Hispanic Catholic Charismatic Center. The next procession is scheduled for Sunday June 11 (Corpus Christi Sunday). I'd be there if I could.

Ave Verum Corpus,

  1. Hail True Body!

    May the Father bless those in the Procession and Adoration of our Lord.

    And may the Holy Ghost move mightily in the hearts of New Yorkers.

    Would that I could be there to Process and Adore...

  2. Wow. That just stuns me.

    Pilgrimages in France and Spain, now this.

    Is a Crusade up next?

  4. This is what +Archbishop Gomez need to do around Dodger Stadium while the perverts are 'celebrating' pride night on the 16th.

  5. New York isn't all satanic. We do have pockets of sanity. (Like Holy Innocents in Midtown.) Unfortunately these are only small pockets that cannot keep away the deluge.

  6. Yes indeed, Prodigal. What a witness, right there in the heart of the enemy.

  10. Infidel, I'm surprised NYC didn't ban this macro-aggression.
