The Diocese of Rockville Centre is excited to announce a major event in its ongoing participation in the National Eucharistic Revival: a Diocesan Eucharistic Congress, to be held on Sunday, June 8, 2025, at St. Anthony’s High School in Huntington, NY.
This historic gathering will bring together clergy, religious, and lay faithful from across Long Island for a day of powerful preaching, inspiring witness talks, sacred music, Eucharistic Adoration, and the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
The Congress is part of a national evangelical movement rekindling devotion to the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist and renewing the Church's missionary zeal.
As a prelude to the Congress, the Diocese will also host two historic Eucharistic pilgrimages, connecting parishes and communities across Nassau and Suffolk counties from May 31st to June 8th.
One pilgrimage will travel from St. Agnes Cathedral (Rockville Centre) to St. Anthony’s High School. The other pilgrimage will travel from The Church of St. Therese of Lisieux (Montauk) to St. Anthony’s High School.
These pilgrimages are designed to foster prayerful preparation and unity as the faithful journey together—physically and spiritually—with Jesus Christ, truly present in the Holy Eucharist.
“We are thrilled to celebrate this grace-filled moment in the life of our local Church,” said Bishop John O. Barres, Bishop of the Diocese of Rockville Centre. “This Congress is not just an event—it’s a revival. It’s about helping our people fall more deeply in love with Jesus and rekindling within them a sense of Eucharistic amazement, so they can be sent forth to set the world on fire as Eucharistic missionaries.”
Further details, including Congress registration, keynote speakers and pilgrimage routes, are now available on the Eucharistic Congress website: DRVC.org.
