This event, originally scheduled for 2021 has been pushed back to 2022. Rome will be the site of the next World Meeting of Families, causing a great amount of anticipation and excitement. Following the great success of the 2018 event in Dublin, the worldwide Catholic community is looking forward to a return to Rome, which last took place in 2000. The event will focus on the theme “Family Love: A Vocation and a Path to Holiness.” As this World Meeting of Families (WMOF) will fall on the fifth anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical Amoris Laetitia, the meeting will reflect on the spirituality of the family in light of the call to holiness expressed in Gaudete et Exsultate.

The Holy Father, Pope Francis, has postponed the upcoming International Eucharistic Congress in Budapest, Hungary in September of 2020. It has now been re-scheduled for September of 2021. This postponement will allow Catholics from around the world to gather safely to share God’s unsurpassable gift to the Church, his bride. Throughout history, the Church has feared no “extravagance” in devoting the best of her resources to expressing her wonder and adoration before her Eucharistic Spouse and Lord.
A clear expression of this “extravagance” can be witnessed at an International Eucharistic Congress. The highlight of the congress is generally the solemn procession and final celebration of the Eucharist. Our updated itinerary options include: Vienna, Krakow, Czestochowa, Dubrovnik, Međugorje, Zagreb, and Prague.
