At the 10th National Eucharistic Congress, our Catholic family will gather to experience profound, personal renewal through the power of Christ’s love. Like a new Pentecost, this transformation will flow out from Indianapolis to bring revival in our communities as the Church returns to her first love—the source and summit of our faith.
Every day at the Congress is designed to facilitate this life-changing encounter with Jesus, regardless of where you are on your faith journey. Attendees will select their preferred series of impact sessions for the morning and breakout sessions for the afternoon. Then, gathered together as one, the whole assembly will experience the powerful revival sessions in Lucas Oil Stadium each evening.
Whether you can come for one day or all five, join us for this generational moment.
Browse the schedule below to see the unique lineup of experiences and speakers from Wednesday to Sunday. New details will be added below as they are announced!
As the Congress begins, the four branches of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage will converge at the venue in a powerful symbol of unity.
Then—gathered as one Church—we will present our wounded and imperfect hearts to the triune God who loves us. Just as he did on the road to Emmaus, Our Lord will listen to our worries and reveal himself once more in the breaking of the bread.

Theme: From the Four Corners
All attendees will gather together to welcome Jesus at the end of his cross-country journey on the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage and open our hearts to what God has in store for the Congress.
The keynote speakers will share the vision for the National Eucharistic Congress, showing us why this historic gathering matters right now and inviting us to encounter Our Lord in a profound new way.
Our dynamic emcees and musicians will guide us through the evening program, fostering an atmosphere of worship and helping us to prepare our hearts for a powerful encounter with Jesus.
The Congress will open with a major procession as we welcome all four branches of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage to their final destination and prepare for the arrival of the King.
The procession will culminate when Jesus enters the stadium, carried by Bishop Cozzens in a massive monstrance created specifically for the Congress. The Eucharist will take center stage, and the stadium will fall silent as we adore the King on his throne.
After hearing inspiring keynotes and personal testimonies, the NEC Worship Collective will lead us in a powerful moment of worship as the Body of Christ. We will raise our voices in prayer as one Church and respond to what the Lord is doing, asking the Holy Spirit to move in and through us.
During this first full day of the Congress, participants will receive a clear kerygmatic proclamation that invites them into intimate relationship with the person of Jesus Christ.
Together, we will have the opportunity to respond to this call in the celebration of the Eucharist. Then we will uncover how the story of our lives can be truly understood within the context of salvation history—the greatest love story ever told.

Jesus will express his desire to be near to us and move among us as he makes his way throughout the stadium in a powerful Eucharistic procession.
In the Acts of the Apostles, St. Luke recounts that the disciples “devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers” (Acts 2:42). Using the early Church as a model, this day will build up participants as disciples through Jesus Christ to live out the Gospel in their love of both God and neighbor.

Theme: This Is My Body
We will embrace our call as disciples of Jesus Christ and commit ourselves to living out the Gospel in our daily lives.
Bishop Robert Barron, Gloria Purvis, and Tim Glemkowski will point to the early Church as our model for discipleship and encourage each of us to take up their mantle more intentionally—living the Gospel by loving God and neighbor with all our hearts, minds, and souls. Jonathan Roumie will share his personal testimony.
Our passionate emcees will guide us through the program for the evening, helping us to prepare our hearts for a powerful encounter with Jesus. Matt Maher will lead the entire stadium in beautiful worship.
Catholics from every corner of the U.S. will gather at the feet of Jesus in the Eucharist, rapt in reverent wonder at the gift of his Real Presence.

During Eucharistic adoration, Matt Maher will lead us in adoring Our Lord in the monstrance, lifting our hearts in songs of praise and surrendering our lives to the God who loves us.
Pope Francis said the Eucharist is “a summons to go forth, as missionaries, to bring the message of the Father’s tenderness, forgiveness and mercy to every man, woman and child.” Throughout the history of the Church, the Holy Spirit has empowered the Church to go to the ends of the earth to share the good news.
On this last day of the Congress, we will be commissioned to go out into the world as missionary disciples as we enter the third year of the National Eucharistic Revival: the Year of Mission.
Unite in prayer with households across the nation through a special in-person episode of the Family Rosary Across America with Fr. Rocky.
Theme: To the Ends of the Earth
This session will invite and empower us to become Eucharistic missionaries, carrying the flame of divine love back with us when we return home. We will leave inspired, anointed, and commissioned to set the world ablaze!
Chris Stefanick and Mother Adela Galindo will deliver our final keynotes. They will inspire hope as we look forward to what God is about to do in this historic Year of Mission and invite us to learn how we can each be a part of this exciting new chapter.
Our dynamic emcees and musicians will guide us through the program for the final gathering of the Congress and launch us into the Year of Mission ahead.
The Congress will end with a great commissioning, sending us back to our communities across the country with renewed passion for Christ and filled with grace to share. Like a new Pentecost, we will be sent out to joyfully proclaim the Gospel in every corner of our nation.
The entire Congress—tens of thousands of on-fire Catholics, hundreds of bishops, and more clergy than you’ve ever seen in one place—will gather to adore and receive Jesus in Lucas Oil Stadium. The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra will contribute to the beauty of our celebration, and a special papal delegate will join us for this enormous, jubilant, final moment of worship.
