The 2024 National Eucharistic Congress
Cardinal Seán O’Malley reminded us, “It is in the Eucharist where we find our true identity.” Thousands gathered together with our Cardinal Archbishop on June 18, 2022 to celebrate Jesus’ True Presence in the Eucharist. Our local Eucharistic Congress concluded with a Eucharistic Procession, where we brought Jesus out to the world, to remind everyone who they truly are.
On July 17, 2024, 50,000+ people just gathered in Indianapolis, Indiana, for the National Eucharistic Congress, which concluded the months long Eucharistic Processions that came from the four sides of our country. It was a moment for our Church in the United States to come together, to be united in prayer and adoration of our Lord Jesus in the Eucharist, so that we can go forth and set the world on fire with God’s love.
Now that the Eucharistic Congress is Over, What’s Next?
- Relive moments of the Congress and continue to receive grace and inspiration from the talks by watching the recordings through EWTN’s YouTube channel.

- Pray for the discernment and preparation for the next National Eucharistic Congress in 2033, the Year of Redemption, 2000 years after Jesus’s death and resurrection.
