About
The Eucharist: The source and summit of our faith
The Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life.” “The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ Himself, our Pasch.”
The Eucharistic Congress: The what and the why
At a time when we’re busier and more digitally connected than ever, our lives are constantly changing and connections feel superficial and fleeting. Today’s culture is also driving us inward – leaving us restless, distracted, longing for meaningful connections.
Should we be surprised that we have lost sight of Jesus, and His True Presence in the Eucharist?
A Eucharistic Congress is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to welcome Jesus back into our lives and bear witness to His gift of the Eucharist.
At the Diocese of Charlotte’s Eucharistic Congress, Bishop Michael Martin is calling you – and all of us – to connect with Jesus in person, together, and experience our Catholic faith in a whole new way. Go beyond the pew at church and join thousands of fellow Catholics in the streets of Charlotte, walking with Jesus in the Eucharist. Experience the emotion of genuine personal connection – with people just like you. Feel the hugs and handshakes that remind you: you belong. With its 92 parishes and missions, the Diocese of Charlotte is one big Catholic community, and you are part of it.
Since the diocese’s first Eucharistic Congress in 2005, the event has been a source of inspiration for thousands of people. Experience it yourself – come to the Eucharistic Congress, go deeper in your faith, and reconnect with the Savior who loves you!
