On Holy Thursday the Catholic Church celebrates the Last Supper of Our Lord with his disciples, remembering that on this night he instituted two sacraments for us, the Most Holy Eucharist and the Priesthood of Jesus Christ. 

The Liturgy always includes a washing of the feet, recorded in the Gospel of Saint John.

This year the class of those who will receive their First Holy Communions on the Second Sunday of Easter participated in the procession of the Most Holy Eucharist to its place of repose following the Mass.

The bouquets the students carried were used to decorate the altar of sacrifice during the Mass.

 

After the procession, the Blessed Sacrament was deposited in the Altar of Repose for the prayerful adoration that followed the service.
