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!

No? No worries! Here are the basic details you need to know:
The Eucharistic Congress is a diocesan event gathering people from across the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth to reflect on and deepen our understanding of the Eucharist; the Eucharist being Christ’s giving of himself to the faithful in his Body and Blood to reconcile us with God the Father. It’s not a simple topic but it is the source and summit of our faith. Join us at the Eucharistic Congress to learn more!
