Eucharistic Procession
Join us for a Eucharistic Procession on September 9th!
St. Mary’s in Hampton and St. John the Baptist in Rapids City is hosting a Eucharistic Procession on September 9th. The procession begins with 8:00 a.m. Mass at St. Mary’s. After Mass, at approximately 9:00 a.m., the procession to St. John the Baptist begins. The procession proceeds from St. Mary’s to the bike path and exits the bike path at St. John the Baptist. Father Harris is planning to have four altar stops along the procession route for Benediction. Water and porta potties are available along the route. Benediction is at 2:00 p.m. at St. John the Baptist.
All who are attending Mass and joining the procession should park their vehicle at St. John the Baptist. Free transportation to St. Mary’s is available. The first bus leaves St. John the Baptist at approximately 7:00 a.m. and returns for two additional trips. Security and medical personnel are available on this walk.
