The July 16-21 national Eucharistic Congress has concluded, and the thousands of pilgrims who attended are home, armed with a greater understanding about what the Eucharist is and a deeper desire to have Jesus be at the center of their lives.

While in Indianapolis, the 20 pilgrims from the Diocese, including Father Martin O'Reilly and Josue Arriola, the co-chairs of the Eucharistic Congress for the Diocese, participated in Masses, prayer services, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and workshops presented by well-known, national speakers.

The In-Focus section of The Monitor Magazine's August issue will dedicate pages on the Eucharistic Congress, and include stories, reflections and photos shared by the pilgrims from the Diocese. The Monitor's website, TrentonMonitor.com, has also been keeping current by posting photo galleries of the historic event taking place in the life of the Church.
