Father John Solomon, pastor of Holy Savior Catholic Church, Ocean City, Md., recently asked the Knights of Columbus Council #9053 to participate in the Corpus Christi Procession held at the parish on June 2.
More than 260 faithful participated in the procession, in addition to four Knights who carried the baldachin, or canopy, over Father David A. Driesch as he carried the Blessed Sacrament in the Monstrance. Canopy bearers were Chris Bean, Bruce Coons, Wayne Straight and John Sharkey.
The Eucharist is a central sacrament in Catholicism as it is the body and blood of Jesus. This procession publicly proclaimed belief in Jesus’ True Presence in the Eucharist, as well as, it brought Jesus directly to the public on the streets.
