A short amateur film produced by Arthur Foreman of the 1964 Corpus Christi procession through Middlesbrough started at St Mary’s Roman Catholic Cathedral on Sussex Street and ending in the grounds of Newlands Convent School on Saltersgill Avenue. The film features well-dressed children from various Catholic schools and organisation in town parading along Albert Road to the convent school where a Catholic service is filmed honouring the body and blood of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. Standing along Sussex Street in Middlesbrough at the head of a procession of schoolgirls wearing red blazers and veils is a man holding a school banner. Some of the girls stand with their hands in prayer. The procession come along Albert Road passing Middlesbrough High School for Boys with some of the girls crossing themselves. The group is accompanied by several smartly dressed women, presumably teachers from their school. Behind the girls a procession of schoolboys also accompanied by several male teachers. Several lines of boys come to a stop outside the Middlesbrough High School for Boys changing to both the girls and boys heading off again watched by spectators standing along the nearby pavement. The procession continues along Borough Road. Two teenager girls, both wearing veils, walk arm-in-arm through a small garden changes to a troop of Boy Scouts standing in the grounds of Newlands Convent School beside a group of altar boys. The schoolgirls featured previous in red blazers arrive and march across the grounds. An altar has been erected against an exterior wall and a Catholic service is undertaken by a priest wearing decorative vestments. Several altar boys assist in the ceremony as the priest uses a thurible to spread burning incense before picking up and showing the congregation the Monstrance that was sitting on the altar. The crowd watches as the priest carries it away. In another part of the school a procession of priest’s pass by followed by another walking underneath a canopy carrying the Monstrance. Accompanied by two other priests’ in colourful vestments he places the Monstrance onto a second altar after which the service continues with prayers being said and more incense being burned. Again, the priest picks up and holds up the Monstrance for the crowd. Above this alter a banner reads ‘In the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.’ With the service over the priests step down from the altar to join the congregation to sing a hymn. Some in the crowd hold up umbrellas from the rain and the film comes to an end with some of the altar boys playing up to the camera.
