THE SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST, or CORPUS CHRISTI,
is always a glorious feast at St. Antoninus.
Our Mass celebration was sublimely beautiful as usual.

Through her brief presentation of the 20/20 Project, which seeks to initiate a
groundbreaking change to abortion laws
in New Jersey, we can clearly see the connection of the shedding of the blood of our aborted babies...
"They shed innocent blood— the blood of their sons and daughters— whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, thereby polluting the land with blood." Psalm 106:38

"For this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." Mat 26-28
Particulary stirring and edifying was Fr Joseph's homily, which was a line by line teaching on the "Sequence" of the Solemnity of Corpus Christi.
After our 10 am Mass, we joyfully proceeded to our Corpus Christi Procession on the streets of Newark.
