Corpus Christi Church will host its 4th Annual Rosary Procession on the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, Thursday, October 7, at 7:00 p.m. The procession will begin at the church, located at 199 Clark Street in Buffalo.

Participants will walk with lighted candles in hand through the streets immediately surrounding the church, while the rosary is recited in various languages. The devotion will conclude at the foot of Mary’s statue across from the church entrance.

Devotion to the rosary is one of the most notable features of the Catholic faith. Pope John Paul II placed the rosary at the center of Christian spirituality and called it “among the finest and most praiseworthy traditions of Christian contemplations. All are invited to rediscover the efficacy of the prayer of the rosary for peace in the world and in families. A reception will follow in the Kolbe Center.
