NYC Area Attends Annual Napa Institute Eucharistic Procession

10/18/2024 

On Tuesday, October 15th, 9 Knights and Dames participated in the annual Napa Institute Eucharistic Procession. The event began with a Holy Hour and spiritual reflection by Bishop Joseph Espaillat. Then, members of the Order participated in the procession for Mass, celebrating the feast of St. Teresa of Avila.

Monsignor James Shea gave a moving homily about surrendering ourselves to God in spite of our fears. A Eucharistic Procession through midtown Manhattan took place after Mass, capturing the attention and wonder of thousands of people. The events concluded with benediction by His Excellency, Timothy Cardinal Dolan. After Mass, members were able to venerate the relics of soon-to-be Saint, Blessed Carlo Acutis.
