The Eucharist

Wednesday, July 16, the newly built church in Candelaria, Concepción, was dedicated. It was also the day that a young woman from the village made her final vows as a sister. Bishop Luis Alfonso Santos and the pastor, Father Efraín Romero, were joined by five other priests and more than 600 people.

Communion was moving as priests moved through the crowds distributing the Eucharist.

This picture says more than I can about the people's love of the Eucharist.

Nice picture!
it reminds me of the crowds at Medjugorge... priests barely fit as they move in the aisles.
