The National Eucharistic Congress is a milestone moment of a three-year initiative of the USCCB designed to renew the Catholic Church in the U.S. by bringing forth an encounter with the living Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. The 10th National Eucharistic Congress invites a movement of the faithful to share in a celebration of the gift of Christ’s love in the Eucharist July 17–21, 2024, at Lucas Oil Stadium and surrounding venues in Indianapolis, IN. More than 50,000 are expected to gather for five days of Masses, opportunities for prayer, the Sacrament of Confession, Eucharistic devotion, and world-class Catholic speakers who will offer keynote and breakout presentations.
