Diocese of San Bernardino
Former Christ the King Church building closed
Procession on Sunday, June 10 unites Our Lady of Hope Parishes
On the "Feast of The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ" or Corpus Christi, June 10, the Most Reverend Gerald R. Barnes celebrated the last Mass at the former church building of Christ the King in San Bernardino.
Sr. Maureen Chicoine, RSCJ and some staff members of Our Lady of Hope Rialto site, Del Rosa site, and Valencia site, participated in the Eucharistic Celebration.
Holy Water bottles blessed at the Mass were distributed as a remembrance to the gathered assembly. After the Mass, parishioners processed two miles with the Blessed Sacrament to the Our Lady of Hope, Valencia Avenue site, where they will worship until the new parish is built on the corner of Tippecanoe and Baseline.
Bishop Barnes and Very Reverend Robert Miller, Episcopal Vicar for the San Bernardino Pastoral Region walked with the pilgrims and other clergy and diocesan personnel. The bishop ended the procession with a Benediction at their new home church.
Community spirit was high and all felt hope and unity and shared stories and prayed together for the time when their hope will be realized and they will be able to celebrate the Eucharist at the new location.
Thanks to the Bishop who can't be bothered to welcome tbe Motu Proprio.
