CHARLOTTE — During the diocese’s annual Eucharistic Procession, the Blessed Sacrament is carried through the streets of uptown Charlotte. The procession took over an hour to complete the .08-mile route as more than 8,000 Catholics danced, prayed, sang and carried banners representing parishes and ministries.

Eighty-one banners representing parishes and ministries stood tall against the Charlotte skyline.

Faithful kneeled as Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament was carried through the streets. Young children in strollers clapped along with the sounds of the processing crowd.

Priests from across the diocese kicked off Saturday’s Eucharistic Congress events with a special Holy Hour with Bishop Peter Jugis.

The Eucharistic Procession culminated inside the Charlotte Convention Center, where Father Matthew Kauth delivered the Holy Hour homily. Read the full story.
