Pasadena parishes hold Eucharistic procession as national pilgrimage begins
When Father John Collins first heard of plans for a two-mile Eucharistic procession through the heart of Pasadena, he was slightly surprised.
“We’re going down Colorado Boulevard?” Collins, pastor of Saints Felicitas and Perpetua Church in San Marino, remembered thinking. “The only thing that ever goes down there is the Rose Parade.”
But unlike the world-famous Rose Parade — where spectators gawk at dozens of spectacles rolling through the middle of the street — this time there was only one focal point: Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.
