Archdiocesan Corpus Christi Procession


This summer marks the beginning of the Eucharistic Revival, a 3-year process initiated by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to renew our devotion to and belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. 


The inaugural event of the Eucharistic Revival will be a public procession with the Blessed Sacrament on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, June 19, 2022. We invite all Catholics in the Archdiocese of Louisville to join us at the Cathedral of the Assumption for this procession immediately following the Sunday noon Mass. 


The procession will traverse an approximately one mile round-trip from the Cathedral to the Belvedere and back. Benediction at the Cathedral will take place at about 3:00p.m. A simple ice cream reception will follow in the Cathedral undercroft. Parishes, schools, and other Catholic organizations are encouraged to carry banners in the procession.

Special Collections

World Missions Collection will be June 4-5.

This weekend, our parish will take up donations for the Mission Collection, which supports the Catholic Home Missions and international missionary agencies, such as the Propagation of the Faith. Your donations help the Church’s missionary work, providing monetary assistance for the pastoral and evangelizing programs of the Church in the United States, Africa, Asia, the Pacific islands, and remote regions of Latin America.

Thanks to all who gave last month. It was such a wonderful gift to St Ignatius. As you can imagine they were very grateful for the 2 vans full of food! Our next collection will be June 5.
