For the first time since its reopening in December 2024, Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris marked the feast of the Assumption with a solemn outdoor procession.
Procession
In carrying Jesus through the city streets in a Corpus Christi procession, Christians are called to be witnesses of his love, sharing both their material and spiritual gifts, Pope Leo XIV said.
With public processions, faith-filled celebrations, and deep devotion, the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage made its way through the Diocese of Dallas June 3-5, drawing Catholics from across the diocese into communion with Christ and marking a significant milestone in the U.S. Church’s three-year National Eucharistic Revival.
For the second year in a row, few foreign pilgrims were in attendance at the traditional Palm Sunday procession from the Mount of Olives into the Old City of Jerusalem due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip; but even the gray skies that threatened rain didn’t dampen the spirit of the 4,000 participants.
