Adoremus: ‘It was electrifying’

The National Eucharistic Congress in Liverpool left Catholics feeling renewed

"I hope it won’t be another 110 years before the next one.” So says a friend just back from Adoremus, the National Eucharistic Congress which brought thousands of Catholics to Liverpool last weekend. Not since 1908 has there been a national event devoted to the Blessed Sacrament. And the event was plainly overdue: everyone I spoke to came back from Liverpool buzzing. “I was in two minds about whether to go,” one said. “But I’m so glad I did.”
