So I'm not Catholic (though I teach at a Jesuit university), and this thread piqued my curiosity. So a quick search led me to this.

And this hits tear-jerkingly hard: not only are they accompanying Jesus, but they've sanctified the place where people are being held unjustly. 1/

What is a Eucharistic Procession?
The Eucharist is the source and summit of the whole Christian life. A eucharistic procession, therefore, is a public witness of the veneration toward the most holy Eucharist, conducted through public streets. It takes place in this way: A consecrated host – that is, the real and substantial presence of Jesus Christ: body, blood, soul and divinity – is placed within a monstrance, which is then lifted and carried by a priest who leads the faithful in procession. Like a pilgrimage, a eucharistic procession normally starts at one holy place and ends at another. This earthly journey reminds the Catholic faithful of their spiritual journey toward eternal life with God.

The alleged survey was 4 years ago and they only rebranded because sales are falling due to lower consumer demand for snacks across the board. They need to do something and this is something.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
