Special Event to Benefit the Eucharistic Congress

parish bulletins and newsletters.

Invitation for Special Groups
In an effort to control costs and keep our Eucharistic Congress a free event, we will not send out personalized invitations to the many groups who annually participate in the Eucharistic Congress Liturgy Processions. However, we definitely want them to be a part of the Congress! Please share this invitation with the Knights of Columbus, Knights and Ladies of St. Peter Claver, Knights and Ladies of the Order of Malta and the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem.
First Communicants are also invited to join us for the morning and evening processions.
We Need Volunteers!
Volunteers are needed in various areas for this year’s Congress, including the Children’s Track, Ushers, Welcoming Committee, etc. Registration closes April 30, 2018. To sign up as a volunteer, please visit http://congress.archatl.com/become-a-volunteer/.
Thank you for becoming a coordinator and supporting the 2018 Eucharistic Congress!
