BEATRICE
St. Joseph Catholic Church – 612 High St | Beatrice
June 22: To celebrate this day, we’ll have a Eucharistic procession, which is a common tradition in the Church Universal. Here’s a plan for each Mass:
— Saturday 5:30pm and Sunday 8:00am: a short time of Exposition, with Benediction
— Sunday 10 am: an outdoor procession through the alleyway to the northwest grass corner of our lot (where the new trees are planted). We’ll have a few minutes of prayer with a blessing, and a procession back into the church to end with Benediction. (If weather does not permit, we will have Benediction like the other two Masses.) Please stay and join us in prayer, whichever is best for you. We encourage you to spend the few extra minutes to be face-to-face with our Lord who makes Himself vulnerable to be with us in the Eucharist.
