I have a couple of photos but they're not very good (I'm short, and tall people kept getting in front of me). However, I'll try to post them later, since the most entertaining thing is that you can see the tourists rushing to take pictures! I go to Spain a lot, and one of the biggest forms of outreach of the Church there is the many processions - for Corpus, for just about any feast. Why we gave them up here I will never understand, because they are a really impressive but at the same time not aggressively personal (ARE YOU SAVED? type of thing) way of calling attention to the Lord.

Here's some coverage of our Seventh Trumpet Mass in Manchester NH - it was in the mid-90's so the crowd was only in the 600-700 range. The procession was awesome; it was made a bit more poignant by our Msgr. Anthony Frontiero's impending assignment to Rome as an official of something-or-other-important there. He's a great parish priest (St. Pius X) and will be greatly missed.
