IN BRINGING greetings to the nation on the occasion of Corpus Christi, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said the Catholic church plays an important role in TT's society as a moral compass, a refuge in times of crisis and a steady force for good.

"Today, we join our Christian community in reflecting on one of the most sacred and profound mysteries of the faith – the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. This day reminds us that God is not distant, but is with us, walking alongside us through every joy and trial."

She said the celebration of Corpus Christi was not only a holy observance but is a powerful reminder of our responsibility to reflect God’s grace in our own lives.
