Corpus Christi: the procession route and the four altars
The procession will set off after the main Mass. The altars are being prepared by four villages and streets of the parish.
On the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ the procession will set off after the main Mass, that is, at about one o'clock. The route is the same as every year: along Kościelna Street to the market square, then along Młyńska and Ogrodowa Streets and back to the square in front of the church. The whole route is just under two kilometres.
The four altars are traditionally prepared as follows: the first by the residents of Kościelna Street and the Pastoral Council, the second by Zalesie, the third by Dąbrówka Wierzbnicka, and the fourth by Pustki together with the Parish Caritas Team. Please have the altars ready by twelve o'clock.
The First Communion children walk in the procession in their Communion clothes and scatter flowers. We ask parents to prepare petals — preferably from the first peonies and roses. The boys from the altar servers carry the processional images and the canopy; they gather in the sacristy half an hour before the main Mass.
We ask residents of the streets along the procession route to decorate their windows and not to park cars along the route in the morning. Traffic will be managed by members of the volunteer fire brigade.
Throughout the octave of Corpus Christi there will be a procession around the church after the evening Mass, and at the end of the octave the blessing of herb wreaths.
