Solemn Mass at 10a on Corpus Christi, 11 June, will be followed by a Solemn Procession of the Most Blessed Sacrament with Benediction at the Four Altars and Solemn Benediction at the end. We will have a brass quartet that will play two motets, one of which is Exultate Deo, adjutori nostro by Jacob Handl.
- Bring your own sacred banner or sacred image to carry in the procession
- First Communicants should wear their First Communion attire and Confirmands are invited to join together with them
- Parish organizations are encouraged to sit together at Mass and process together with their own sacred image banner
This is an opportunity to honor Our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament and give witness to our Catholic identity. Noon Mass attendees should arrive early to process and be aware that Mass will begin after the procession and benediction ends.

This fall we will be participating in Box of Joy, a Christmas gift ministry organized by local Catholic schools, parishes and groups nationwide. By packing Boxes of Joy with toys and other gifts, our parish family will bless children suffering from extreme poverty by sharing the joy of Christmas and planting seeds of hope through the Gospel. We encourage every student and parishioner to pack a Box of Joy!
This year, we have set a goal to bless 150 impoverished children!
Materials are available now! To reserve a box please email: maria.barontini@princeofpeacetaylors.org or stop by her office in the Parish House to pick up a box AND a brochure.
There is a small cost to transport each Box of Joy from our community to the receiving child (please write the $9 check to Cross Catholic Outreach, not the school or parish). No cash accepted and all envelopes with shipping payment need to handed to Maria Barontini NOT placed inside the box as in previous years. Boxes will be collected starting 23 October-4 November. Please turn in boxes no later than 4 November.
Please turn your boxes into Maria Barontini in the parish office. For more information check out boxofjoy.org
