The Future

As stated in our welcome letter, the purpose of the Boston Eucharistic Congress was to "inspire, challenge and convict us as Catholics to take responsibility for the gift of faith we have received, and to put into action our faith through service of the Lord and His Church."

Although the event has passed, there are still many ways to witness to Christ through worship of the Eucharist and service to others. The online resources and organizations below may help sugggest some ways in which you can continue to witness to Christ in Boston.

LIFT Ministries
LIFT is a monthly worship gathering on a Tuesday night in the metropolitan Boston area. The basic format of a LIFT night starts with upbeat praise and worship music followed by an inspirational talk given by a dynamic speaker speaking on that night’s theme. The night culminates with a time of Eucharistic Adoration enhanced by more praise and worship music.
