Day 3: So Many Faithful

Written By Dennis Graham, Parishioner

St. Francis of Assisi has “boots on the ground” at the 2024 Eucharistic Congress. Parishioner Dennis Graham will be sharing his insights from this "once in a generation" event!

3rd day, Friday, July 19. So much has happened. So many beautiful signs. So many beautiful memories. So much to work to do going forward. If you’re wondering what it feels like to be a pilgrim here at the 10th National Eucharistic Congress, I can only point to the attendees who are here with us:

  • 55,000 beautiful pilgrims

  • a couple of thousand nuns

  • 800 seminarians

  • 1200 priests

  • 1600 deacons

  • almost 200 bishops

  • maybe a dozen cardinals

  • Jesus in the Eucharist, in adoration every day, and present every minute of this event.

What does it feel like? Feels like a whole lot of Jesus.

Dennis Graham, Parishioner
