10th National Eucharistic Congress
July 17-21, 2024
Indianapolis, In
Eyes Opened,

Hearts on Fire

At the National Eucharistic Congress, the Church will draw into a deeper intimacy with our Eucharistic Lord, allowing our eyes to be opened and our hearts to be set on fire with his love.

The whole Congress will be an experience of prayer: a liturgical act offering the Catholic Church—those in attendance in Indianapolis as well as across the country—to the Father, through the Son, and in the Holy Spirit. This reconsecration will result in a massive outpouring of grace and renewed missionary sending as participants are moved to share the Eucharistic love of the Lord “for the life of the world” (John 6:51).

From the Four Corners

“Jesus drew near and walked with them.”

Luke 24:15

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.

  • Dinner break
  • 5:45 PM: Eucharistic Procession into Lucas Oil Stadium to kickoff evening activities

  • Our opening session is a powerful family reunion as we welcome Catholics from all over the country and all different backgrounds united in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic faith in worship of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.

The Greatest Love Story

“‘Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and enter into his glory?’ Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them what referred to him in all the scriptures.”

Luke 24:26-27

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.

Into Gethsemane

“Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road?”

Luke 24:31

Today, our eyes will be opened to the effects of sin and the healing that Our Lord wants to give us. On the individual level, there will be opportunities for the healing of the whole person, including physical healing, psychological wounds, and spiritual sin. On the corporate level, the Congress will recognize the areas where we’ve failed as a Church and the repentance and healing needed to unify the Body of Christ. As we are purified and restored, our hearts will burn with renewed zeal.

Schedule

  • 8:30 AM: Catechetical sessions and daily Mass
  • Lunch break
  • 2:00 PM: Breakout sessions and festival programming in the afternoon

This is My Body

“Stay with us.”

Luke 24:29

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.

Schedule

  • 8:30 AM: Catechetical sessions and daily Mass
  • Lunch break
  • 2:00 PM: Breakout sessions and festival programming in the afternoon

To the Ends of the Earth

“They set out at once.”

Luke 24:33

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.

Schedule

  • 8:30 AM: General Session 5—To the Ends of the Earth
  • This last day will commission us to go out into the world as missionary disciples to share the love of Christ in the Eucharist in our homes, schools, workplaces, parishes, and communities.
  • 11:00 AM: Closing Mass
  • Departures mid-afternoon
