Parish-based Eucharistic Congress gallery

In lieu of the large diocesan-wide event that brings together as many as 15,000 Catholics to the Charlotte Convention Center each year, Bishop Peter Jugis encouraged the faithful across the Diocese of Charlotte to mark the 2020 Eucharistic Congress weekend with local celebrations where possible.

Here is some pictures of Eucharistic-themed events at parishes across the diocese.
