This celebration was in unity with the Universal Church to promote a deeper understanding of, and reverence for, our Eucharistic Lord.
Together with the other priests in our local Archdiocese, our Parish Pastor Rev. Fr. Simon Yong SJ had for the past 6 weeks preached on the 14th. Encyclical of the late John Paul II (JPII): Ecclesia de Eucharistia and his 6 homilies were compiled into a booklet and made available during the celebration for those interested in being intensely catechesised on the Eucharist.
A Parish mini Eucharist Congress was also held in conjunction with the Feast of Corpus Christi with celebrations/events as follows:-
a) Silent Adoration before Blessed Sacrament in the Church beginning from the Sunset Mass on
24.5.08, after the Sunday 25.5.08 8.30am Mass, and after 11.30am Mass till 5.00pm.
