Joy, Faith and Unity
Our first-ever Eucharistic Congress will include beautiful Masses, faith-filled talks, prayer, confession, adoration and music. It will be a time of joy, faith and unity with a mission to make Catholics more aware that the Eucharistic is the source and summit of the Church’s life. On Saturday afternoon, Oct. 9, join Bishop Talley and thousands for Mass with Eucharistic Procession. We will walk from the Renasant Center to St. Peter where we will end the Procession with Benediction on the steps of the church.
