Personal musings and postings from an Augustinian friar living and working in the upstate NY Capitol region.
6/6/10
Corpus Christi
I am very amazed by the devotion of the people of this parish. The 12:15 PM Mass today lasted for nearly 2 hours and then there was a procession through the streets of the parish for about an hour, ending with Benediction of the Blessed Sacraments on the steps of the church.
Since 1848 this has been a church of mostly first and second generation immigrants. Irish first. Now mostly Hispanics.
