“We are being sent forth on mission to make Christ known to others and to be Christ to others,” Christina Wheatley of Jeffersonsville, Indiana, told CNA on the eve of the National Eucharistic Congress this week.

Throughout the day, cars and vans dropped off groups of religious sisters and pilgrims of all ages in front of the church ahead of the culminating event of the National Eucharistic Revival, the U.S. bishops’ initiative to inspire an understanding and love for Jesus in the Eucharist.
