What people are saying
"Seeing so many people from our diocese of all ages and backgrounds who are all here to follow Christ is overwhelming. It gives me hope for humanity.”
Maria DawkinsWinston-Salem
“My daughter and I wanted to experience it – see the vendors, go to confession and attend Mass. It’s great to see so many Catholics gather to celebrate, to come together for Jesus, especially the youth. We didn’t have that when I was younger.”
Teresa BookamerCharlotte
“I’ve been to the Eucharistic Congress about seven times. I love every minute of it. It’s so great to see so many Catholics together in unity of heart and mind, in the faith.”
Patrick ValentineGastonia
“My favorite part is the closing Mass. I love the large Mass celebrating the Eucharist together with so many cultures, parishes and people.”
Rosheene AdamsCharlotte
“I loved it! I went to confession – it only took a few minutes for the actual confession part, but it was comforting just talking to the priest.”
Lynn PennerMooresville
“I think it’s really cool to see so many Catholics come together and to see our faith celebrated by so many cultural backgrounds. It was also awesome to hang out with the other teenagers. It’s not often you’re in a room with so many young people who have the same beliefs.”
