Thousands Gather for New York State's Eucharistic Congress | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

More than 8,000 people, including several leading Catholic voices, gathered in a small town in upstate New York over the weekend. The New York state Eucharistic Congress was a 40-hour event at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Martyrs in Auriesville, New York. More than 8,500 people registered. Speakers included Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly from the Knights of Columbus and Bishop Joseph Espaillat, the youngest bishop in the US. One of the participants and Senior Fellow at the National Review Institute, Kathryn Jean Lopez, joins to tell us about the New York Eucharistic Congress and what some of the highlights were. Lopez discusses whether other states or regions will be doing a similar initiative leading up to the Eucharistic Congress next year in Indianapolis. She explains why this initiative is so needed in the US right now. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
