On the Solemnity of Christ the King parishioners from St Pancras in Ipswich spent time in Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. As the 11am Mass drew to a close, Our Lord was enthroned on the altar amid an extravagance of candles and flowers in honour of His Universal Kingship.
Parishioners came to spend time before Him in silent homage as well as to place their needs, the needs of those who are dear to them, and the needs of the Church and the world, at His feet. The afternoon’s adoration concluded with Benediction at 5pm.
