Experience the Splendor: Feast of Corpus Christi and the Visitation: Step into a sacred journey on Thursday evening, May 30th, as the Archdiocese of Montreal invites you to a divine celebration like no other! Join Archbishop Christian Lépine for a special Mass at the majestic Mary Queen of the World Cathedral, commencing at 7:30 p.m. 

Feast of Corpus Christi - Embrace the Tradition: Delve into the rich tradition and profound belief in the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ during the Feast of Corpus Christi, also known as Corpus Domini. As we commemorate this momentous occasion, let us unite in celebration of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. 

Procession Through the Heart of Montreal: Following the Eucharist Mass, join thousands in a radiant procession through the vibrant streets of downtown Montreal. As we walk in peace, joy, and prayer, let us bear witness to our unwavering faith in Christ's presence amidst our world. Our journey culminates in Benediction at the iconic Saint Patrick's Basilica. 

Illuminate the Path with Candles and Banners: Enhance your experience by acquiring candles and holders available at the Cathedral's entrance for a nominal fee. Bring forth your banners adorned with saints, parishes, movements, or groups, adding a touch of reverence and unity to our procession. 

Celebrate the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary: As we revel in the splendor of Corpus Christi, let us also honor the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our diocesan patronal feast. Reflecting on the birth of our beloved Archdiocese, founded on May 13, 1836, we express gratitude for Mary's unwavering guidance and inspiration. 

A Solemn Tribute of Thanksgiving: At this solemn Mass, let us offer heartfelt thanks to the Lord for the precious gift of the Eucharist and the guiding light of Mary, our eternal model and source of strength. Inspired by Mary's visit to Elizabeth, may we embrace missionary conversion, listen intently, and reach out to encounter one another in faith and love. 

Join us as we immerse ourselves in prayer, reflection, and community, celebrating the divine presence in our midst.
