Corpus Christi – or the Day of Thanksgiving for the Institution of the Holy Communion, is a festival which celebrates the presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Corpus Christi means ‘body of Christ’ and the feast is celebrated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday.

As on this day we reflect and give thanks for the Blessed Sacrament, at St Albans Cathedral we will have a Choral Eucharist with Benediction at 5pm on Thursday 19 June observing the festival. We warmly welcome you to join us for the celebration.
