St. Vincent de Paul School celebrates Feast of Corpus
Christi with Eucharistic procession
LONG BEACH -- St. Vincent de Paul Catholic
School celebrated the Feast of Corpus Christi a little
early. Father Mike Austin, pastor of Holy Family Par-
ish in Pass Christian, wanted to introduce the school
children to a ritual of the Catholic Church that has al-
most been forgotten in North America.
The school’s second graders were honored during
the normal Friday school Mass. It was the first time
they all received Holy Communion together as a class;
and after the Mass, they were presented with banners
made with love for them from the sixth graders.
Then Father Mike explained the Eucharistic Proces-
sion. He told everyone present that this was a ritual
that has been around since ancient times and that he
was glad that St. Vincent de Paul students were going
to be able to experience such an amazing custom.
Three altars were set up on the school grounds. The
first was for the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the second
for the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the third for the Holy
Spirit. (Brian Verdigets and Scott Kaletsch made the
altars, and the sixth grade students created tile mosaics
to decorate them.)
The procession left the church with everyone sing-
ing
“This is Jesus”
and walked to the first altar. First
went the congregation, then candle bearers, bell ring-
ers, and torch bearers; finally Father Mike with the
Blessed Sacrament and several altar servers walked
under a canopy. At the altar, everyone sang and prayed
then moved on to the next altar. At the last altar, Prayers
to the Holy Spirit were offered and Father Mike led a
closing prayer.
Then the procession headed back to the church for
Benediction. Finally, everyone enjoyed a feast pre-
pared by the Knights of Columbus and parents.
Father Mike Austin, Julia Hazelette, and Dylan
McShane are leaving the Holy Family Church for
the Corpus Christi Eucharistic procession.

A friend and confidant, he was by the pope’s side
during a pivotal point in the church and the world’s his-
tory: for the launch of the Second Vatican Council and
the escalation of political and military tensions of the
Cold War.
He turned many of his stories into numerous writ-
ings, including a memoir published in English as
“The
Heart and Mind of John XXIII.”
The papal secretary also served Pope Paul VI for
a time after his election, following St. John’s death
in 1963. He was made archbishop of Chieti-Vasto in
1967 and appointed prelate of Loreto in 1971, retiring
in 1988.
Pope Francis made him the world’s oldest living
cardinal when he elevated him to the College of Cardi-
nals in 2014 at the age of 98.
Some observers saw the honor as an indirect tribute
to Pope John, whom Pope Francis canonized just one
month later.
But the then-cardinal-designate told
Catholic News
Service
at the time, in a telephone conversation, that his
elevation was a “sign of attention to all those thousands
of priests around the world who have spent their lives
in silence, in poverty, in obedience, happy to serve God
and our humble people, who need, as Pope Francis con-
tinually says, tenderness, friendship, respect and love.”
Cardinal Capovilla’s death leaves the College
of Cardinals with 213 members, 114 of whom are under
the age of 80 and therefore eligible to vote in a con-
clave.
Pray for an increase of vocations to the priesthood, to the diaconate,
and to the religious life, especially in the Diocese of Biloxi
