At the 10th National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis July 17-21, an estimated 60,000 Catholics gathered to experience profound, personal renewal through the power of Christ’s love. Fueled by encounter with our Lord in prayer and worship, adoration and Mass, and by the inspiring testimony and witness of Catholic speakers, participants in the Congress were inspired to “Go Forth,” flowing out from Indianapolis to bring the light of Christ into the world like a new Pentecost to bring revival in our communities as the Church returns to her first love—the source and summit of our faith.

NEC 2033! As announced by Bishop Cozzens at the closing event of the Congress, the next National Eucharistic Congress will be held in 2033! And, the next National Eucharistic Pilgrimage will take place in 2025 from Indianapolis to Los Angeles. Watch for more details to come!
Every day at the Congress was intended to facilitate this life-changing encounter with Jesus, regardless of where you are on your faith journey. Attendees chose their preferred series of impact sessions for the morning and breakout sessions for the afternoon. Then, gathered together as one each evening inside Lucas Oil Stadium, the whole assembly experienced the powerful revival sessions. Jesus was truly present!

Walk with One
Everyone Can Evangelize
We are all called to evangelize, and thanks to the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are well-equipped for this mission. There is someone in your life right now whom Jesus longs to call to himself. He wants to spark a relationship with them and bless them with his sacraments. In this Year of Mission, Catholics across the U.S. are saying “yes” to a special form of heart-to-heart accompaniment called the Walk With One initiative. This is your opportunity to be God’s instrument in the life of another person. Imagine how our families, neighborhoods, and country will be transformed if every active Catholic answers this call!
