International Eucharistic Congress
January 1, 2028
The Vatican has announced that Sydney will host the 54th International Eucharistic Congress in 2028.
Held every four years, the International Eucharistic Congress is expected to draw tens of thousands of faithful Catholics from across the globe to Sydney.
Catholic Archbishop of Sydney Anthony Fisher OP said the congress would be the largest gathering held on Australian shores since World Youth Day 2008.
“The International Eucharistic Congress is a joyous occasion that will deepen our understanding of the truth of the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist,” he said.
“As the source and summit of the Christian life, the Eucharist has the power to convert hearts and stir fervour. The God who dwells among us, Emmanuel, gifts us with his permanent presence through the Eucharist and calls us to follow him so that we might be the salt of the earth and the light of the world (Matthew 5:13).
