49 th International Eucharistic Congress
The Eucharist, gift of God for the life of the world
June 15-22, 2008

Registration for the Archdiocesan Pilgrimage to the 49 th International Eucharistic Congress in Quebec City 2008 is still open to all parishioners, religious, clergy and members of lay movements aged 18+ within the Archdiocese of Toronto. Every four years, Catholic faithful from around the world are invited to gather, reflect on and celebrate the great mystery of the Eucharist.

Since as Church we are all One Body in Christ, no formal weeklong youth track has been planned. Similarly, the OCY will not be planning a separate pilgrimage from the one being offered by the Archdiocese. Youth have been central to the planning and preparation for the Congress and their influence and energy will be felt in the programming. The OCY has been part of the Toronto pilgrimage committee from the beginning. This is a wonderful opportunity for all generations to connect and learn from each other.

To find out more about the Archdiocesan pilgrimage and to download a registration form, visit: www.archtoronto.org/congress.

Join us for this exciting event and be part of diocesan renewal.

Join the Pilgrimage of the Ark to the 2008 International Eucharistic Congress

From March 23rd to may 28th 2008, the Ark of the New Covenant will complete its final pilgrimage. A group of pilgrims called "potageurs" will accompany the Ark during its 64 day walk. The organizers of the 2008 International Eucharistic Congress of Quebec City are looking for 12 people who are prepared to live an altogether unique spiritual experience and give testimony to their faith in Christ.

The 2008 IEC would also like to form temporary teams of pilgrims who would commit to accompanying the Ark of the New Covenant for a two-week period.

If you would like to get actively involved in the final leg of the Ark of the New Covenant's pilgrimage, submit your name today. Contact Mr. Jerry Grzadka of the 2008 IEC at 418-688-1211 ext. 259, or by email at arche@cei2008.ca
