In order to make this gathering the most fruitful for Catholics of so many different stages of life and vocational callings, speakers and breakout sessions will be organized into tracks with various themes and intended audiences.
Ask the Lord how he is calling you to participate in the Congress and how he wants to form your heart through these five powerful days. Learn more about each track below.
Speakers and breakout sessions will be announced soon.
These sessions are for anyone who desires a deeper renewal of their faith and a richer understanding of Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, and who is wondering what the next step in their faith journey will be after the National Eucharistic Congress.
You’ve had encounters with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament before, and now you’re asking, “What’s next?” Whether you are burning brightly or burning out in your faith, whether you’re a newly initiated Catholic or a life-long disciple, this track has something for everyone who desires a deeper encounter with Jesus at the National Eucharistic Congress.
Gather with thousands of disciples from all over the United States for rich prayer experiences, impactful keynotes by world-class speakers, and opportunities to storm heaven for revival alongside your Catholic brothers and sisters from all vocations and stages of life. Experience the energy, unity, and inspiration of powerful Catholic conferences—but on a whole new scale.
As you learn about the incredible gift Christ gives us in the Blessed Sacrament and encounter him there with new eyes, you will receive a fresh understanding of your call to follow Jesus. Renewed in your mission, you will be invited to recognize and live your identity as a son or daughter of the Father, disciple of Jesus, and instrument of the Holy Spirit in a powerful way. You will learn how to share your particular vocation with a missionary heart. Are you ready to take your next step into the mission of the Church?
This track will be offered in both English and Spanish.
These smaller, more intimate sessions are for anyone who wants practical tools to become a “Eucharistic Missionary,” evangelizing their community and taking on a deeper role in spreading the Gospel to those around them.
You’ve had a profound encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist and have been transformed by his love. Now you desire to bring other people to encounter our Lord as well!
These interactive sessions will empower you to receive a deepened interior life, be formed in your faith, pray with your peers, and be sent out on the mission of evangelization. This hands-on experience invites a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit by means of gifts and graces that will launch you into something totally new in your relationship with Jesus Christ.
Talks will be filled with practical insight from incredible evangelists on how you can bring other people to the Catholic faith. This isn’t just training; it is a springboard into becoming a full agent of Eucharistic Revival in your parish and community.
These sessions are for any person who serves in a parish, diocesan, or other ministry role, whether you are paid, volunteer, part-time, or full-time. If you are a ministry leader and would like to connect with others who share your challenges and mission, then this is a fantastic way for you to participate at the Congress.
Whether you’ve spent one year in the vineyard of ministry or forty years, you know the challenges and blessings that come with serving in Catholic ministry and are no stranger to the work of revival. In gratitude for our seasoned Church workers and laborers for the Kingdom—including full-time paid staff members, part-time volunteers, and those somewhere in between—we have created an experience just for you.
Fulfilling the call to be a disciple demands constant conversion, renewal, and docility to the Holy Spirit. These sessions will invite you to explore new and creative possibilities of accompaniment, evangelization, and catechesis. Finally, this track will equip you in your ministry as a parish, diocesan, or apostolate leader to invite and cultivate revival in your vineyards and bring about the fruit of anointed and committed Eucharistic Missionaries.
Gather with a passionate group of leaders from around the country for intimate prayer experiences, and enter a deeper chapter in your spiritual life and apostolates through this dynamic experience at the National Eucharistic Congress.
These sessions are for teenagers aged 14 to 18, including those who are entering high school in the fall or recently graduated the previous spring. Teenagers must register with an adult, a family, or a youth group.
Throughout history, revival in the Church has been accompanied by a revival of faith in the youth. Teenagers face numerous obstacles and challenges in our world today: rising rates of mental illness, an onslaught of post-Christian values that run contrary to our faith, and a world wracked with violence and indifference. There has never been a better time for young people to become witnesses to the power of Christ’s love and agents of Eucharistic Revival.
Teenagers are invited to a unique youth conference experience at the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis. During the day, they will join thousands of young people from across the United States to gather in worship of Jesus Christ and be empowered as Catholic disciples to become evangelists in their parish, community, and culture. In the evening, teenagers will join the entire congregation of the National Eucharistic Congress to be part of tens of thousands of Catholics in Lucas Oil Stadium for the evening program, providing an incredible witness to the power of youth to the Catholic Church in the United States.
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will transform teenagers at your parish forever and will be the catalyst to revival in their lives and the life of your community.
This experience is intentionally designed for parents or caregivers and children to attend together, with activities, talks, and prayers that will speak to every family member. Families with children aged 13 and younger will find these sessions to be particularly impactful. Older children are welcome either to attend with their family or to join a group and attend the Youth sessions during the day.
Are you a family with children who are 13 years old and younger? If so, this unique Congress experience is designed specifically for you.
Fostering a love of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist within our homes will have a profound impact on how we love others outside of our homes. Sessions will feature opportunities for prayer as a family—including morning Mass—that are impactful for adults and designed with children in mind. You will learn together, share together, and spend time with each other in dedicated spaces that feature amenities specifically tailored to families with children.
Eucharistic Revival happens at the grassroots level, and the domestic Church is an essential part of this movement. This track will not only lay a foundation of Eucharistic faith in your home, but it will also challenge you to consider how your family lives out the mission of the Catholic Church in our world through breakout sessions and other opportunities for participation. In the evening, families will join the rest of the congregation of the 10th National Eucharistic Congress for evening sessions with special seating designed with families in mind.
