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:
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.
Join on Livestream!
