June 17, 2022THIS WEEKEND ACROSS THE NATION, Catholics will celebrate The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ and the start of the Eucharistic Revival on June 19. The Diocese of Trenton is devoting an entire weekend to the launch of the Eucharistic Revival. It’s the goal that both days will provide occasions for families to come together for some fun and to celebrate their Catholic faith.
On June 19, the community of Corpus Christi Parish, Willingboro, will host the diocesan launch of the Eucharistic Revival with an 11 a.m. Mass, followed by Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament with a Eucharistic procession. The Mass can be viewed HERE on the parish livestream.
On June 18, Turkey Swamp Park in Freehold will serve as the site for a Mass and picnic to be held for families from throughout the Diocese. The 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. event will begin with Mass followed by a picnic lunch with fun activities. The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed and attendees will have time to participate in Adoration. The day will conclude with Benediction.
