    Archdiocese of Boston Eucharistic Congress
    Saturday, June 18, 2022

    8:30am to 6:00pm
    Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell

    Cardinal Seán O’Malley invites all the Catholic faithful in the Archdiocese of Boston and surrounding dioceses to join him in closing the Year of the Eucharist with a day-long Eucharistic Congress, Jesus is Here.
            
    A core tenet of the Catholic faith is that the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ is made truly present in the Eucharist. But belief in the True Presence has waned in recent years, even among Catholics. And that’s a concern—because as Cardinal Seán teaches, “it is in the Eucharist where we find our true identity.”  Jesus is Here is an opportunity for us to deepen our understanding of the mystery of Jesus’ presence with us—by listening to powerful talks on the Eucharist, by receiving Jesus in the Eucharist at Mass, and by adoring Him in a time of adoration and worship. 
         
    Join Cardinal Seán O’Malley, Bishop Robert Barron, Bishop Daniel Flores, and other nationally known Catholic speakers and musicians for inspiring talks, music, Mass, Adoration, and Procession all centered on Jesus, truly present in the Eucharist.
