Eucharistic Congresses in the U.S.

Episode 180

Prior to 2024, eleven eucharistic congresses have taken place in the United States. Nine of them were national eucharistic congresses, and two were international. What is a eucharistic congress? What happened at the previous ones? In this episode we talk about the previous eleven congresses and give some of the astounding highlights — like when the Goodyear Blimp accompanied the five-hour eucharistic procession in New Orleans.
