Under blue skies and despite a winter chill, Sydney witnessed an awe-inspiring display of faith, unity, and devotion as the Walk with Christ procession drew an unprecedented crowd of an estimated 20,000 Catholics celebrating the feast of Corpus Christi.

On 22 June, thousands began gathering for the pre-procession festivities, creating an atmosphere of jubilation and pride as musicians and singers including the Jubilate Deo choir sang well-known hymns and the sacred sounds of Gregorian Chant echoed throughout the CBD.

They filed out of train stations and filled nearly 40 buses from parishes across the archdiocese to arrive in the city centre for the event.

20k! Amazing!

I'm glad to see these processions happening in places you might not expect. There was a Corpus Christi procession in Portland over the weekend where several thousand turned out, I've heard it was a great diocese but that impressed me.

Also I sometimes forget our seasons are inverted, the "winter chill" line threw me heh.
