Sacred Heart and St. Stephen's Corpus Christi's procession Monday. Three altars were around the Village of Lawrence, Monday, at the Ray and Kathy Rischling, Eileen Buschkoetter and Dolores Kucera homes. Parishioners walked from the Church and down the streets to each altar in procession with Father Hottovy carrying Jesus to each place. The event finished with adoration in the church with dessert and refreshments.
Father Jamie Hottovy, pastor of Sacred Heart, St. Stephen and Our Lady of Assumptions parishes is in front of a temporary altar at the home of Eileen Buschkoetter Sunday afternoon as he blesses parish members who took part in the Corpus Christi procession in Lawrence.
The Catholic Church has quite a number of "Feast Days" throughout each year and last Sunday was one of the more public displays. It was the Feast of Corpus Christi (The Body and Blood of Christ). In the two parishes for Lawrence and the one for Deweese, a procession was held from each church building to the three altars erected where adoration and blessings were held. In Lawrence, altars were at the homes of Ray and Kathy Rischling, Eileen Buschkoetter and Dolores Kucera. After the processions, all returned to the church for adoration and prayers.
At St. Stephen parish and the Our Lady of Assumption church in Deweese, altars were on parish grounds with short processions to each.
The events ended with dessert, coffee and refreshments at each parish.
