Amazing sunshine at the opening of the Eucharist Congress 2012
It was a day of football and faith. While the result from Poland wasn’t great it was a wonderful day in Dublin. We had over 12,000 pilgrims from Ireland, England, Korea, Peru, Canada, South Africa, in fact from all the corners of the world for the opening of the 2012 Eucharistic Congress. It marked the beginning of a week of workshops, liturgies and talks aimed at bringing people together to grow in communion and celebrate their faith.
Over the next seven days a wide variety of themes are going to be explored such as ecumenical dialogue, married life, priestly and religious vocation, the importance of reconciliation, the celebration of the Word and above all communion in the Eucharist. We’ll keep you updated on all that’s happening. If you’re coming along drop by Stand 71 and say hello.
