Parish picnic and Corpus Christi Procession

On Sunday, June 3rd we will celebrate the Feast of the Body and Blood of Jesus. Several years ago, the late Deacon Geza Balassy introduced to St. Matthias the beautiful tradition of the Corpus Christi Procession where the Blessed Sacrament is taken to the four corners of the parking lot and we bless the North, South, East and West areas of our parish.

Over the years we have added to the religious part of the celebration a Parish Picnic held here on the grounds and provided by the Knights of Columbus.

I would really love to see you and your family at the Procession and picnic. The weather forecast is for Sunny and 76 degrees, so it’ll be a beautiful day. There are more details in the bulletin Sign up at Church this weekend or call the Rectory and leave a message by Tuesday.
