Each morning at the Congress will begin with Mass, where we’ll encounter Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. Then, nourished by that encounter, we’ll continue forming our hearts and minds in the Eucharistic mystery through morning impact sessions.
In order to make this gathering the most fruitful for Catholics of so many different stages of life and vocational callings, these impact sessions are organized with various themes and intended audiences. Ask the Lord how he is calling you to participate in the Congress and how he wants to form your heart through these five powerful days.

These sessions are for high school youth—incoming freshmen through just-graduated seniors. Teens cannot attend alone and must participate with a youth group or be accompanied by a parent.
Throughout history, revival in the Church has been accompanied by a revival of faith in the youth. Teenagers face numerous obstacles and challenges in our world today: rising rates of mental illness, an onslaught of post-Christian values that run contrary to our faith, and a world wracked with violence and indifference. There has never been a better time for young people to become witnesses to the power of Christ’s love and agents of Eucharistic Revival.
Teenagers are invited to a unique youth conference experience at the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis. During the day, they will attend large morning sessions and afternoon breakouts designed specifically for teenagers—joining thousands of young people from across the United States in worshiping Jesus Christ and being empowered as Catholic disciples to become evangelists in their parish, community, and culture. Look forward to dynamic Catholic speakers such as Oscar Rivera, Brian Greenfield, and Jackie Francois Angel.
In the evening, teenagers will join the entire congregation of the National Eucharistic Congress to be part of tens of thousands of Catholics in Lucas Oil Stadium for the evening program, providing an incredible witness to the power of Catholic youth in the Church in the United States as a part of this historic moment. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will transform teenagers at your parish forever and will be the catalyst to revival in their lives and the life of your community.

These sessions are for any priest or bishop who desires to experience priestly renewal and deeper intimacy with Christ.
You’ve answered the call, and discovered that Christ is truly the "one thing necessary." But, how do you abide in him?
Your priestly heart is at the heart of the Eucharistic Revival. As Jesus shared the Last Supper with the apostles, instituting both the Eucharist and the Priesthood, Jesus invited the very first priests to draw near and abide in him. This special track has been prayerfully cultivated to offer you a unique experience of reflection, fellowship and prayer, inviting you into greater intimacy with Jesus Christ, the Great High Priest.
Individual presenters, like Dr. Scott Hahn, Bishop Robert Barron, Bishop Andrew Cozzens, and Dan Cellucci, will inspire hearts, while panel discussion participants, including Msgr. James Shea and Jonathan Reyes, will offer practical insights into how you can balance your interior intimacy with Jesus and the servant leadership your priestly ministry demands of you. And, there will be periods of Eucharistic adoration, offering you a chance to adore our Eucharistic Lord with your brother priests as your fraternal bond is strengthened in Christ!
These sessions will be offered in English.
