St. Francis had a deep love and reverence for the Eucharist. In a letter to a General Chapter, he wrote: "O sublime humility! O humble sublimity! That the Lord of the whole universe, God and the Son of God, should humble himself like this and hide under the form of a little bread, for our salvation.” 

Later this month, tens of thousands of people will gather in Indianapolis from July 17 to 21 for the 10th National Eucharistic Congress to deepen their relationship with Christ and renew their devotion to the Eucharist. Our vocations team will be at booth #944 in the Expo Hall at the Indiana Convention Center. Stop by and say hello!

Follow the province's social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, X) for daily updates from the friars as they share the Franciscan perspective on the Eucharist through the lens of this historic event.
