Eucharistic Processions set for Albany and Hudson on June 19

On June 19, the feast of Corpus Christi, archdioceses and dioceses across the U.S. will hold Eucharistic processions to launch the revival, which will culminate in the National Eucharistic Congress in 2024. In the Diocese of Albany, that celebration will include a procession in Albany and Hudson after Sunday morning Masses.
