Corpus Christi, 2020
The feast of the Body and Blood of Christ today had a special meaning in the diocese of Rockville Centre, as public Masses were offered in most parishes, under guidelines from the bishop. We listened to and prayed with the live 11 a.m. broadcast from the cathedral, Bishop John O. Barres officiating, with Father Lachlan Cameron as homilist, first topic the Year of Grace, and second topic the Eucharist. A robed and masked choir sang in the loft, with appropriate distance between singers. They sang the sequence, but I could not determine whether it was Thomas Aquinas's Lauda Sion Salvatorem or a translation. At communion of the clergy, the choir sang Adoro Te devote, another hymn by Aquinas. Adoration and Benediction followed Mass, as also the case at the Corpus Christi celebration at St. Peter's. Catholic Faith Network carried that Mass + Benediction for more than two hours after 9 p.m.

Corpus Christi, Mineola
Above is the entrance to Corpus Christi church on Garfield Avenue, Mineola.
Corpus Christi parish stands on the southwest corner of Willis and Garfield Avenues in Mineola. The altar is at this Willis Avenue end of the church, and the door shown in the above photo is not an entrance. Please enter from Garfield Avenue. The mailing address is 155 Garfield Avenue, Mineola, NY 11501, telephone 516-746-1223. The parish website is linked here.
The above two photos were taken on May 13, 2012, as people assembled for the 8:30 a.m. Mass in Portuguese. It is the feast of Our Lady of Fatima. Any photo may be enlarged by clicking on it.
On Searing Avenue are two buildings that once formed the parish elementary school. They are joined by a bridge at the second floor. Religious education and a youth center use these buildings now. This view looks west towards Willis Avenue and the church.
