Eucharistic Congress 2024

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!

How you Can Take Part in the Sold Out Congress?

If you have a spot at the Eucharistic Congress, apparently you have the hottest ticket in town!   Starting on Friday, we will welcome over 700 people to Saint Agnes Church to delve more deeply into the source and summit of our faith, the Eucharist.

If you didn’t manage to get a spot there are a couple of ways that you can take part:

  1. Join the Eucharistic Procession!

Starting at approximately 4:00pm on Saturday, October 19, Congress attendees and any of the faithful who would like to join them will walk a Eucharistic Procession from Saint Agnes Church to Saint Mary’s Cathedral Basilica.  The procession will be 4km and will make stops on the Halifax Commons at the St. John Paul II Memorial and Grand Parade square and conclude at the Cathedral with benediction.  You are welcome to join the procession at the beginning or from one of the stops.  A map of the procession can be found by clicking here.

  1. Join on Livestream!
