St. Augustine, Fla. – On the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, June 2, the Holy Father has called for a special Eucharistic Adoration for the Year of Faith that will extend at the same time all over the world involving the cathedrals and parishes in each diocese. For an hour, at 5 p.m. (Rome time), the whole world will be united in prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

Following the regularly scheduled 9 a.m. Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine, Bishop Felipe J. Estévez will spend time before the Blessed Sacrament and the public is invited to join him. He will celebrate the 11 a.m. Mass and following Mass he will lead the Corpus Christi Procession through the streets of St. Augustine. Everyone is invited to participate.
