St. Francis of Assisi has “boots on the ground” at the 2024 Eucharistic Congress. Follow parishioners Dennis Graham, Kathy Kaler and Sandie Cassias as they share their insights from this "once in a generation" event!
Ever the Thomas, I was hesitant to attend the Eucharistic Congress, I confess, and felt the same skepticism I felt towards World Youth Day in 1993. Inside, I doubted that the effort, physical discomfort and expense would be compensated by the graces received. But I was wrong, again, as always. Both events can only be described as “transformative.”
3rd day, Friday, July 19. Here are the list of attendees we were blessed to rub shoulders with!
2nd day, Thursday, July 18. We are finally getting into the flow of the EC. Liturgy starts in Lucas Stadium with the Rosary at 8am, Mass at 8:30, first session until noon, quick lunch if time permits, 2nd session until 4-ish, then grab something for dinner and back to the stadium for the evening session until 10pm, or so.
1st day - July 17. Angela, Sandie and I walked downtown that first morning to register at the immense Indy Convention Center
