Puebla, Mexico, 07 September, 2024 / 7:00 pm (ACI Africa).
The 2024 International Eucharistic Congress, which begins this Sunday in Quito, Ecuador, is generating great expectations around the world. But how can those who cannot attend in person experience this moment of grace from a distance?
Father Juan Carlos Vásconez, one of the congress’ official spokespersons, offered a guide to joining from home and making the most of the event.
Joining spiritually from wherever you are
“The faithful can join the congress spiritually by praying for the fruits of the congress,” Vásconez pointed out, noting that this event, which will be held Sept. 8–15, is taking place almost at the same time as Pope Francis’ apostolic journey to Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and Singapore.
The Ecuadorian priest invited everyone to “participate in the opening and closing Masses, which will be livestreamed and are central events of the congress.” EWTN will broadcast these and other events of the congress throughout the week.
