All altar servers are encouraged to join in the Corpus Christi procession.  Servers are asked to arrive at the Saturday Mass 15 minutes early, vest in cassock and surplice and sit together in the front pews.  After communion, we will carry lighted candles, incense and the crucifix in procession together with the Blessed Sacrament.
