The Archdiocese of Atlanta holds an annual Eucharistic Congress around the Feast of Corpus Christi. Archbishop-emeritus John F. Donoghue began the event in 1995 to encourage Eucharistic Adoration in the archdiocese. More than ten years later, Archbishop Wilton Gregory continues the tradition. Dynamic speakers, inspirational music, a beautiful procession, and special tracks for kids, teens, Hispanics, Vietnamese, and the deaf draws tens of thousands of people from around the country to the Georgia International Convention Center. This is an event that you and your family cannot miss!
