50,000 Faithful Gather in Indianapolis for 10th National Eucharistic Congress, Plan Eucharistic Pilgrimage to Los Angeles
It’s a wrap for the 10th National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis, folks. Over 50,000 worshippers came together for a right reverent shindig at Lucas Oil Stadium—a locale you’d usually associate with roaring crowds and touchdown dances, was for a shining moment, a temple of praise and adoration for Jesus Christ. UCA News reported an atmosphere brimming with gratitude following a transformative week.
It all culminated with a Mass officiated by none other than Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, who seemed right at home in Indiana, extending his joyous and multilingual greetings to an international crowd. According to a report by the Georgia Bulletin, he also passed along the “fatherly, paternal blessings” of Pope Francis himself, who had some hopeful words for the future of the church and society stateside: “conversion to the Eucharist.”
