For the Feast of Christ the King, we had a beautiful Solemn High Mass, followed by a procession of the Blessed Sacrament during which the Holy Rosary was recited. We were truly blessed with glorious weather for such a beautiful procession. In the evening, we had Solemn Vespers continued by Adoration and Benediction and to finalise we had a little firework display. It was a wonderful Feast Day, enjoyed and participated by many faithful!
