Eucharistic Congress Continues through Sunday in Indianapolis
The crowd prepares for Mass celebrated by Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York at the Eucharistic Congress.
The first national Eucharistic Congress in 83 years continues through Sunday at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
On Thursday, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York, said the opening Mass in the morning with 1,500 priests, bishops, deacons, and seminarians.
According to Susan Ronan, OFS, secretary of the Secular Franciscan National Executive Council, the evening praise and worship service was moving, with talks from Mother Olga and Fr. Mike Schmitz.
“It all just fills your heart with His Love,” Susan said. She is working alongside local Secular Franciscans sharing the joy and love of fraternal spirituality at the Congress.
Susan said a steady stream of visitors from all across the country, including Secular Franciscans, are visiting the booth. You can watch a live stream of the Eucharistic Congress at:
