Corpus Christi Procession through Manhattan

Corpus Christi Procession through Manhattan

Led by a processional cross, acolytes, and a canopy sheltering the Blessed Sacrament, members of the Church of the Beloved Disciple process through the streets of Manhattan on the Feast of Corpus Christi. The annual procession carried the Eucharist beyond the church walls into the public square, affirming both the Real Presence of Christ and the place of LGBTQ Christians within the Catholic sacramental tradition. Rain and city traffic did not deter the congregation, whose public witness united ancient devotional practice with the visibility and resilience of New York's gay community.
