Eucharistic Congress 2012
March 8, 2011Eucharistic Congress 2012. The International Eucharistic Congress will give Ireland €7m boost. It starts on June 10th and ends with open-air Mass in Croke Park on June 17th. Pope Benedict selected Dublin to host the 50th Internationl Congress. Cardinal Sean Brady on behalf of the Irish Bishops Conference has invited Pope Benedict to attend. The only previous time the Congress took place in Dublin was in 1932, one million Catholics attended then and it is hoped that 80,000 people will attend the Mass and 12,000 visitors will visit Ireland during that time.
