On the road to Dublin for the 50th International Eucharistic Congress
A new book charting the lead up to the 50th International Eucharistic Congress was
launched on Thursday here at Vatican Radio.
The book is published in Italian
and is edited by the Vatican Publishing House under the title “The Eucharist. Birthplace
of the Church: On the way towards the 50th International Eucharistic Congress in Dublin.
Taking
part at the launch was the General Secretary of the Congress, Fr Kevin Doran. He spoke
to Lydia O’Kane about the countdown to the event saying, “ The are…just one hundred
days to go and there is a great conscienceness of that among the team and a certain
nervousness I suppose because it is coming…”
Fr Doran also adds that there
is a sense of anticipation regarding the Congress bell which will be here in Rome
next week.
“The bell is coming to Rome for St Patrick’s Day (March 17th)
but we also got word just yesterday that it’s going to be received at the audience
by Pope Benedict on Wednesday the 14th.
The 50th International Eucharistic
Congress in Dublin, Ireland will be held from the 10th to the 17 June.
