The Corpus Christi procession represents the typical form of a Eucharistic procession. It is a prolongation of the celebration of the Eucharist: immediately after Mass, the Sacred Host, consecrated during the Mass, is borne out of the Church for the Christian faithful “to make public profession of faith and worship of the Most Blessed Sacrament.” (Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist Outside Mass, 101; Code of Canon Law, 944)

All are welcome to join Frank Cardinal Leo, Metropolitan Archbishop of Toronto, for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ here on Sunday, June 22, 2025. Mass will begin at 12:00 Noon, followed by a procession in the vicinity surrounding the cathedral and will conclude with Solemn Benediction. There will be a time of gathering for fellowship in the courtyard after the Procession. Join us as “Pilgrims of Hope” during this special Year of Jubilee.
The Corpus Christi Eucharistic procession publicly and reverently honours the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, which is the source and summit of our Christian life.
To accommodate the procession around the block, Bond St. will be closed from Shuter St. to Dundas St. As a result, street parking and the school playground/parking lot will be inaccessible. Please plan on taking public transit or parking at an alternate location on this day. We apologize for the inconvenience.
If you are unable to walk with the procession, you are welcome to remain in the Cathedral where you can follow along with the prayers and hymns which will be recited and sung along the way. Worship aids will be provided.
We look forward to having you join us for the Cathedral’s annual Corpus Christi Procession.
