Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
Sunday, June 11
Corpus Christi marks the beginning of the second phase of the National Eucharistic Revival. This phase is dedicated to fostering Eucharistic devotion at the parish level, strengthening liturgical life through faithful celebration of the Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, missions, resources, preaching, and organic movements of the Holy Spirit.
Churches across the Diocese have planned special events to celebrate the inauguration of this year of parish revival, including Eucharistic processions, hours of adoration, and parish picnics.
The Diocese of Savannah was formed in 1850, comprising the entire state of Georgia and a large part of Florida. The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist, dedicated in 1876, is the seat of the diocese.
The Diocese of Savannah has had 15 bishops since its founding in 1850.
