This summer, Catholics of many different backgrounds, vocations, rites, and regions of the country will gather in Indianapolis for the first National Eucharistic Congress in 83 years. To enrich this event for attendees at different life stages and vocational paths, the Congress team has organized morning experiences into impact sessions tailored to different audiences. Read on to learn more about each of the sessions and find the one that will help you take the next step in your faith journey.
Each impact session will feature engaging speakers on topics that resonate with different groups, facilitating encounters with the Lord and forming hearts and minds for the year of mission ahead.
