Corpus Christi Procession in Newry

We would like to extend an invitation to everyone to attend the Newry Cathedral Parish Corpus Christi Procession on Sunday 11th June 2023 at 3pm.

Newry has one of the last surviving public Corpus Christi Processions in Ireland. The procession, headed by children who recently made their First Holy Communion or Confirmation, winds its way through the streets of the city and is a public witness of faith and worship of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Join us!

Route

The procession will begin at St. Catherine’s Church, Dominic Street at 3.00pm and continue along Francis Street, Mill Street, Hill Street, ending at the Cathedral for Benediction and blessing. 

Invitation to all the P4 and P7 children

We extend a special invitation to all the P4 and P7 children and their parents to attend the procession. We would request that those children who received the Sacrament of Holy Communion and Confirmation come along to the procession wearing their Holy Communion or Confirmation outfits.
