Thank you to everyone who came along to Ushaw on Sunday 7 June to celebrate the great feast of Corpus Christi. More than 300 people took part in the annual service, which included a Eucharistic procession through Ushaw’s gardens, and Benediction.

The service was led by Fr Jim O’Keefe, Honorary President of Ushaw, and supported by people, priests and deacons from across the Diocese, who came together to pray before the Blessed Sacrament, and to witness to their faith with an outdoor procession.

Thanks to everyone who helped to make Corpus Christi a joyful and prayerful occasion.
