The Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis recently hosted a National Eucharistic Congress, drawing tens of thousands of American Catholics. The event aimed to reinvigorate devotion to the sacrament of the Holy Communion and revitalize faith within the Church. The congress featured Bishop Andrew Cozzens holding a gold vessel containing the consecrated wafer, with attendees describing feelings of peace and euphoria. The event marked the first National Eucharistic Congress since the 1940s and was part of a larger effort by American bishops to address declining Mass attendance and waning faith. The gathering included diverse liturgies, high-profile speakers, and a variety of activities, reflecting the rich tapestry of Catholic life in America. The congress also served as a response to a 2019 survey revealing that only one-third of American Catholics believed in the transubstantiation of the eucharist. The event, which cost $22 million to organize, was part of a three-year "Eucharistic revival" initiative, seeking to reignite interest in eucharistic adoration among young Catholics. The congress provided a moment of spiritual unity and peace amid the country's tumultuous political climate, with attendees expressing their deepened faith and its impact on their personal lives.
