You’re invited to our Eucharistic Congress!
Upon returning from a meeting of International Eucharistic Congress delegates in Ecuador in September 2023 (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!
On December 8, 2023 during the celebrations for our Archdiocesan Feast Day, Archbishop Dunn announced that we would host a Eucharistic Congress in our diocese. The planning for the event has begun in earnest and more information will be available shortly. In the meantime we invite the people and parishes of the Archdiocese to save the date for the Eucharistic Congress: October 18-20, 2024.
What is a Eucharistic Congress? A Eucharistic Congress is time where a large number of Catholics gather to worship Our Lord in the Eucharist
through the communal celebration of the Mass, hear talks, and intentionally pray with, reflect on, and respond to the Eucharist.
It can be a very powerful time to manifest the unity of the Church. These gatherings reaffirm and re-emphasize the source and summit of our faith, putting Jesus where he belongs—at the center.
Stay tuned for further details and mark your calendars for October 18-20, 2024!
