Mobile Revives Christ the King Procession


Archbishop Thomas Rodi is reviving the Christ the King Procession in downtown Mobile prior to this Sunday's Christ the King Mass at the Cathedral.

Participants should gather at the cross in Bienville Square, downtown Mobile, by 10:30 a.m. Archbishop Rodi will give an opening prayer and begin the recitation of the Holy Rosary. The procession will continue recitation of the Rosary as it leaves Bienville Square and processes west on Dauphin Street to Cathedral Square. Upon completion of the Rosary, participants will enter the Cathedral-Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, where Mass will begin at 11:00 a.m.

The procession route encompasses a little more than three city blocks, so those unable to walk that distance are invited to be seated in the Cathedral.

During Mass, Archbishop Rodi will confer the first-ever Christ the King Medal to honor a volunteer from each parish who has been nominated by their pastor for exemplary service to the parish. Everyone is invited to participate in this marvelous archdiocesan-wide celebration and witness to our faith and heritage.
