LIVE updates from the National Eucharistic Congress!

For the first time in nearly a century, the Catholic Church from every corner of the United States is gathering in one place!

More than just a retreat or conference, the 10th National Eucharistic Congress, July 17-21 in Indianapolis, Indiana, will be a pivotal moment in both American history and the legacy of the Catholic Church.

And the Marian Fathers are here! 

Meet the Marians
Visit Booth #108 in Expo Hall to meet Marian Fathers and seminarians (ready to answer any and all questions!), browse books from Marian Press, and enter a daily raffle to win an Image of Divine Mercy.

There are also special giveaways and videos on the Eucharist to watch, featuring Fr. Andy Davy, MIC, one of the 50 official “Eucharistic Preachers” of the National Eucharistic Revival.

Come and meet the new “Father Joseph, MIC,” Fr. Mark Baron, MIC (below) on opening day, July 17!

And you can even take a selfie with St. Faustina and our Marian Founder, St. Stanislaus Papczyński (actually, life-size cardboard cut-outs of them!).

We're off next door to Lucas Oil Stadium, home to the Indianapolis Colts, for Revival Session 1: "From the Four Corners." More than 50,000 people are in attendance!

Before entering, Fr. Mark Baron, MIC, aka "Fr. Joseph, MIC," pays his respects to the great Colts quarterback Peyton Manning.
A vast crowd!
An emotional moment was when the four National Eucharistic Pilgrimages, "our national Emmaus moment," came to an end, with pilgrims entering the stadium: the Marian Route, starting in Lake Itasca, Minnesota; the St. Elizabeth Seton Route, starting in New Havenm Connecticut; the St. Juan Diego Route, starting in Brownsville, Texas; and the St. Junipero Serra Route, starting in San Francisco, California. Never before in our nation's history has there been a transcontinental pilgrimage! 
The assembly fell to their knees as the Eucharist entered the stadium. Not a sound could be heard as the procession, lit by a single spotlight, made its way to the central altar. Jesus is here!

That's a wrap for today! More tomorrow!

Mark your calendars: On Thursday, June 18, the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy will welcome a stop by the 2026 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage.

This year, we return to an idea as old as the Gospel: That God took to Himself a human heart, a Heart that beats with love and mercy for us. And this is closely connected to the Divine Mercy devotion that, in the mysterious providence of God, has spread fastest and farthest from the United States of America.

Each First Friday and First Saturday, we must make a Communion of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Join us on June 5 and 6.
