UA&P Eucharistic Procession 2024
Everyone is invited to this year's Eucharistic Procession at UA&P, which will be held on February 1 (Thursday). Assembly will be at the Sancta Maria Stella Orientis Oratory at 10:00 am.
The theme for this year's procession is "Listening to God and others." Here is a brief explanation from the UA&P Chaplaincy on the theme:
"Pope Francis said that 'a synodal Church is a listening Church'. 'Listening, in communication, is an openness of heart which makes possible that closeness without which genuine spiritual encounter cannot occur. Listening helps us to find the right gesture and word which shows that we are more than simply bystanders.' (Evangelii Gaudium, 171)
We will encounter Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament around the campus in a Eucharistic Procession. Let us listen to what Jesus wants to tell us and what he asks of us. May we not be simple bystanders. Listening to Our Lord will help us listen to others. We can then become other Christs walking beside others and accompanying them to respond to God's love."
In addition, we humbly appeal to the community's generosity to help fund expenses related to the Eucharistic Procession 2024, such as the flowers to be used for the floral carpets and station altars. Your contributions will help us welcome the new year and semester with a joyous and solemn procession: https://bit.ly/uapep2024donations
