Corpus Christi, The Body and Blood of Christ – Sunday, 6th June 2010
...
 

“They all ate as much as they wanted, and when the scraps remaining were collected they filled twelve baskets.” The miracle of the five loaves and two fish distributed among so many people is given to us as a symbol of the greatest gift and miracle of all, the Eucharist. As God’s people we are so privileged to be fed with the Body and Blood of Christ week after week, so much so that we can even take it for granted. We have a responsibility to keep the wonder of this gift alive in us. We also have the responsibility to live this miracle through our love for one another in our homes and communities. Through the power of Christ there was more left over after thousands of people had been fed than when they started. That is what the same Jesus wants to happen among us today as a result of the Eucharist we celebrate.

Planning for the Eucharistic Congress 10th – 17th June 2012:

In the course of the past year, the various committees and working groups of the Congress have been established. The main planning committee has six working groups, dealing with:

• Pastoral and Liturgical Planning,
• Communications and Media,
• Volunteer Management,
• Services and Logistics,
• Finance and Administration
• Special Events.

A national Eucharistic committee has been appointed, with one delegate from each diocese, in order to ensure that there is an opportunity for people in every parish in Ireland to be involved both in the pastoral preparation and in the events of the Congress.

A national finance committee has been established to provide the kind of external financial control that is appropriate to an event of this magnitude. The principal events during the week of the Congress will take place in the RDS. The closing ceremony will take place in Croke Park.
