The Procession of the Blessed Sacrament in Zhouzhi Diocese in North West China in half a century has stimulated devotion among Local Catholics there.
To the Accompaniment of Drums, Trumpets, and Firecrackers -- Four Village Churches in Mei County, Shaanxi Province joined the Eucharistic Procession.
A Parishioner with the Surname Li said some Catholics could hardly believe what they were seeing. They were amazed to see the Blessed Sacrament being brought to their rural parishes.
This was the First Eucharistic Procession to be held in North West China since 1949.
Many Non - Catholic Villagers were curious and stepped out of their homes to see what exactly was going on.
The Event had an Evangelizing Effect as a Witness of the Catholic Faith noting that the Procession went around some Factories run by Catholics where Non Catholic Workers are also present.
This Eucharistic Procession passed through 5 Villages. Catholic Families kneeled and prayed as it passed by. On entering each of these villages with Parish Churches the Procession Participants went to the Church for a Benediction Service with the Blessed Sacrament.
Zhouzhi Diocese has more than 60,000 Catholics with more than 54 Priests, 200 Churches, 120 Seminarians or more and 200 Odd Sisters of various Congregations.
