International Eucharistic Congress in Dublin in 2012
Rev. Fr. Kevin Doran addressed the Concilium on the forthcoming International Eucharistic Congress to be held in Dublin 10 - 17 June 2012. He said the Congress is an international gathering of people which aims to promote an awareness of the central place of the Eucharist in the life and mission of the Catholic Church, to help improve our understanding and celebration of the liturgy and to draw attention to the social dimension of the Eucharist. We are trying to focus on the sense of belonging to the Body of Christ and to the sense of mission. The theme of the Congress, which is taken from the Document Lumen Gentium of the Second Vatican Council, is: The Eucharist – Communion with Christ and with each other. Each day will have a specific theme too. Fr. Doran stressed the need for preparation for the Congress. The Concilium website now has a link on its homepage to the Congress website IEC 2012.
