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!

Thank you for Attending the Congress!

“It was an amazing weekend!”

These words were repeated by many of the 700 people, including 15 bishops and 50 clergy, that gathered for our first Eucharistic Congress. Together they re-awakened in heart and mind the gift and power of the Eucharist through inspiring liturgy and insightful keynote talks. People listened and reflected on the ways the Eucharist can heal our world: it restores our relationship with God, it unites us as the Body of Christ, it inspires us to worship, it calls us to serve the poor and marginalized, and it equips us for the mission Christ entrusted to us. 

A highlight during the Congress was our 4 km Eucharist Procession where approximately 1000 people walked with Jesus through the streets of Halifax from Saint Agnes Church to Saint Mary’s Cathedral Basilica. It was a witness like no other that had a profound impact on not only the people who took part but also our city.

Archbishop Dunn was moved by everyone’s excitement and engagement in the Eucharistic Congress and is so very grateful for the many ways the people and parishes of the Archdiocese contributed to making the Congress a resounding success – thanks be to God! We know much fruit will come from this great gathering.
