You’re invited to our Eucharistic Congress!

Upon returning from a meeting of International Eucharistic Congress delegates in Ecuador in September 2023 International Eucharistic Gathering in Sept2024(see picture), Archbishop Dunn was inspired to host a local Eucharistic Congress in the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth. There has been a practice in our diocese to host an annual Assembly of the People of God; a time to gather a diocesan family to pray, reflect, learn, and celebrate the goodness of God being witnessed across our local Church. For 2024, that the annual diocesan gathering will be a Eucharistic Congress. The focus of this gathering will be on creating an opportunity for the spiritual renewal of the people and parishes of the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth…and beyond.

Archbishop Dunn would be delighted for you to join him from October 17-20 for our first Eucharistic Congress in the Archdioceses of Halifax-Yarmouth!

Blessed Carlo is Coming to the Congress!

We are excited to host the relic of Blessed Carlo as part of our Eucharistic Congress.

This is the first time a relic of Blessed Carlo will come to Canada. Many young people have a devotion to this young soon-to-be saint known for his love of computer games and the Eucharist. Because of his deep love and devotion to the Eucharist we welcomed the opportunity for a visit from Blessed Carlo as part of our Eucharistic Congress.

So where can people venerate him?

  • Welcome Liturgy - Wednesday, October 16 at Saint Mary’s Cathedral Basilica. Exact time to be announced.
  • Pre-Congress Youth Night – Thursday, October 17 at 7:00pm PLEASE NOTE: this event is for youth and young adults ages 14-35 only
  • Before the Congress – Friday, October 18 at Saint Mary’s Cathedral Basilica from 9:00am to 12:00 noon
  • Eucharistic Congress attendees will have opportunities to venerate Blessed Carlo at the Congress
  • After the Congress – Sunday, October 20 at Saint Agnes Church from 12:00pm to 4:00pm

Blessed Carlo will then continue a short Canadian tour by going on to the Diocese of Antigonish, followed by the Archdiocese of Saint John’s, and finish his visit in  the Archdiocese of Ottawa.
