If you were a bystander on third street in my hometown, you would have witnessed something extraordinary... A Eucharistic Procession. It is not something that happens everyday and I am sure it was a sight to see for those people who had no idea was was coming at them.
It was a gorgeous fall evening for this beautiful and sacred procession. The night sky was clear and the whether was perfect. The air smelled of incense around us as the altar servers carried it with us. It was simply perfect.
I was part of the ninety or so people who made up our group. We prayed the rosary and the divine mercy chaplet. We also sang church hymns in between each decade of the prayers. It is a special connection between a group when we all know that what we are doing is important. It is bringing Christ out to others. It is about bringing the heart of our faith and putting it out there for all to see. Yes, there were a few who yelled out some not so nice things to us, but the majority of the people we crossed paths with were very respectful of us. We passed a few fraternity houses and the frat boys would come out and just stand and stare. When they were handed a card about what they were they would take it with interest. It was a memorable evening.
I do not have pictures right now of this event, but you can expect me to put some up as soon as I possibly can.

I'm glad it went so well! 90 folks is an awesome turnout. And I'm glad it was such a good day for it. You guys went all the way over to Frat row?? That's a lengthy procession. We were praying for its success here!!
Mike,
No... not frat row. We walked down E. 3rd street and passed by the few frat houses that are there... We did frat row last time. :)
