On the Feast of the Annunciation of the Lord, San Gabriel Valley Catholics walked in a six-mile Eucharistic Procession from Mission San Gabriel’s Annunciation Chapel to St. Luke the Evangelist Parish in Temple City and back to the mission on Saturday, March 25.

“This is a perfect day for us to make this public witness to our faith in Jesus Christ, because today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, the day when the Word of God was made flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary,” said Archbishop José H. Gomez said in his homily during the Mass that preceded the procession.

The event, church officials said, is the continuation of the three-year-long National Eucharistic Revival Movement launched last summer on the Feast of Corpus Christi.
