Eucharistic Congress Preparation

[NPC]

As you may know, the Eucharistic Congress will be held in Dublin, Ireland, in June 2012. My diocese (which is in Ireland) is soon going to begin preparations for the Congress. The theme of the Congress will be “The Eucharist: Communion with Christ and with Each Other”. The diocese is asking for people to submit ideas to our diocesan delegate to the National Eucharistic Congress Committee.

So does anyone here have any ideas on how we as a diocese can prepare for the 2012 Eucharistic Congress? Please share.

Promote Eucharistic adoration, benediction, and processions: events which being many people together to worship Christ in the Eucharist.

Promote works of charity (e.g. the corporal works of mercy) as a habitual way for Catholics to live out the mission of the Church, focusing on the dismissal of Mass as a sending-forth of the faithful, strengthened by the presence of our Eucharistic Lord in their bodies, on this mission.

Study some of the recent Magisterial documents on the Eucharist, especially Pope Paul VI’s Mysterium Fidei, John Paul II’s Ecclesia de Eucharistia, and Benedict XVI’s Sacramentum Caritatis.
