Corpus Christi Procession 2010

This was the eleventh consecutive year that the Deanery Corpus Christi Procession has taken our Eucharistic Lord through the streets of Oxford, and the crowds this year were larger than ever.

The Procession began at the Oratory:

Large numbers of the lay faithful were joined by a Passionist bishop, diocesan priests, Dominican friars and sisters, Oratorians, Jesuits, Salesian priests and sisters, Holy Child Sisters, Sacred Heart of St Aubin Sisters, the Sisters of the Work, Capuchin friars and novices, Knights of Malta and others:
