Sunday, the feast of Corpus Christi, or the Body of Christ,  was solemnized in Bali, Indonesia, with 181 children receiving the First Holy Communion.   Father Herman Yoseph Babey, parish priest of  the Holy Spirit church in Denpasar, celebrated the Mass, in which the whole community participated with great enthusiasm. The children, who went through a five-year preparation, came from 18 different basic ecclesial communities, and were on an average ten years old.   In his homily Fr.
