The Blessing Procession
BLESSING PROCESSION includes: Families with roses, National
Catholic Organizations, Religious Education Programs, Confirmation
Classes, Youth Groups, Diocesan Organizations, Prayer Groups, and
Ethnic Groups. All the organizations throughout the diocese are
invited to be represented in the Blessing Procession. As the procession
passes by the Bishop, he blesses them and the work that they do.
Families Representing Parishes
Each parish is invited to select a family to represent its parish in
the blessing procession. The family is to bring a red rose. Families with
the Roses are to report to the same table as groups in the procession. As
in the past, families with roses will have separate seating. We would
like a family member to contact us so we can explain to them what is
required. We will be sending additional information to the families with
roses. Click here for reservation forms to print and mail.
The doors to the Rosary Sunday hall will not be open until 12 noon, as the Convention Center employees will be setting up the room. For photographs from past Blessing Processions and more information about the Parade and the Blessing Procession, click here.
