The Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament held a solemn high mass, procession, and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament on the Feast of Corpus Christ on May 26. The service was held at St. George’s Episcopal Church, New Orleans.
The Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament is a community of clergy and lay folk within the Episcopal Church that strives to promote reverence for our Lord in the Holy Eucharist through the witness of its members’ lives and words, through prayer and teaching. The Confraternity is also a charitable organization that provides grants of vessels and vestments for celebrating the Eucharist and reserving the Blessed Sacrament to poor parishes at home and abroad. The New Orleans Ward is working toward full chapter recognition under the protection of St. Joan of Arc, the Maid of Orleans.
