Seven hundred attend the CIC’s first Eucharistic procession in Washington

May 31, 2023

Tourists strolling by the White House in Washington paused in wonder as 700 people dressed in their Sunday best processed down H Street NW on May 20. Some pulled out their phones to snap a photo, while others made the sign of the cross, all while members of the procession prayed the rosary and sang hymns.

The goal of the procession was “to bring Christ to the streets of this nation’s capital and to pray for our nation,” said Father Charles Trullols, Catholic Information Center director.

Jesus says: 'Forgive anyone against whom you have a grievance, so that your heavenly Father may in turn forgive you your transgressions.' With the grace of God, take the initiative today to offer forgiveness to anyone who has offended you. By doing so, you will find peace.
