Our bishops have issued an invitation to the faithful to renew their devotion through the upcoming National Eucharistic Congress, Adoremus 2026, on Saturday October 10.
The congress, in London, will bring together bishops, priests and people, while parishes are encouraged to unite with the national event locally through parish Masses, Holy Hours and Blessed Sacrament processions.
Footage from the events will also be broadcast to enable remote participation.
The national gathering will bridge two of London’s historic cathedrals, beginning at St George’s Cathedral in Southwark and concluding at Westminster Cathedral:
· 10.30am: Presentations on Eucharistic Art and Life (refreshments available for early arrivals).
· Noon: Adoremus Mass, celebrated by Archbishop John Wilson of Southwark.
· After Mass: Keynote address, The Eucharist: Our sacrament of hope in dark times, by Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe OP, followed by a break for packed and picnic lunches.
· 3pm: Public Eucharistic Procession from St George’s Cathedral to Westminster Cathedral.
Space will be available for attendees to watch the start of the procession at St George’s, follow its route or join delegates for the concluding liturgies at the Cathedral of the Most Precious Blood, Westminster:
· 5pm: Solemn Benediction, led by Bishop James Curry.
· 6pm: Holy Mass, which is open to all.
· 7.30pm, 8.30pm, 9.30pm: Holy Hours led by youth ministry teams from Westminster, Southwark and other dioceses.
· Midnight to 6am: All-night vigil to close the congress.
Parishes are encouraged to begin planning local celebrations to sync with the national itinerary.
