UConn Catholic Center to Host Eucharistic Procession Through Campus

On Monday, April 28th, students from the UConn Catholic Center, in conjunction with Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish, will lead a Eucharistic Procession through the heart of the University of Connecticut’s campus in Storrs.

The procession will begin following the 12:30 PM daily Mass, starting at the UConn Catholic Center. The planned route spans approximately one mile, offering students, faculty, and community members a visible and prayerful witness of faith and devotion to the Eucharist.

This public expression of Catholic belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is a unique opportunity to bring Christ into the center of campus life.

All are welcome to attend and participate in this sacred event!
