|---|
| 15 | 15 | | 3 Whereas, The first Eucharistic Congress, held in Lille, |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | 4 France, in 1881, was international in scope and launched a |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | 5 movement of Eucharistic Congresses worldwide, including |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | 6 many held in the United States from 1895 until 1941, which |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | 7 united clergy and laity everywhere in worship; |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | 8 Whereas, World War II disrupted plans for congresses the |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | 9 world over and although International Congresses resumed in |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | 10 1952, a National Congress has not been held in the United |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | 11 States since 1941; |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | 12 Whereas, The 10th National Eucharistic Congress (the |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | 13 "Congress") will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, beginning on |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | 14 July 17, 2024, and will mark the first National Eucharistic |
|---|
| 27 | 27 | | 15 Congress in the United States in 83 years; |
|---|
| 28 | 28 | | 16 Whereas, Indianapolis was chosen as the host location for |
|---|
| 29 | 29 | | 17 the Congress due to its ideal location, first-rate amenities, and |
|---|
| 30 | 30 | | 18 peerless Hoosier hospitality; |
|---|
| 31 | 31 | | 19 Whereas, The Congress seeks to fulfill the vision of the |
|---|
| 32 | 32 | | 20 Eucharistic Revival, started in 2022, to rekindle a living faith |
|---|
| 33 | 33 | | 21 in the hearts of Catholics across America, with up to 80,000 |
|---|
| 34 | 34 | | 22 attendees expected to gather in Indianapolis over the course of |
|---|
| 35 | 35 | | 23 five days; |
|---|
| 36 | 36 | | 24 Whereas, The Congress will begin with the convergence of |
|---|
| 37 | 37 | | 2024 RC 1525/DI JC 2 |
|---|
| 38 | 38 | | 1 four pilgrimage routes in Indianapolis from their origins in San |
|---|
| 39 | 39 | | 2 Francisco, California, Brownsville, Texas, New Haven, |
|---|
| 40 | 40 | | 3 Connecticut, and Lake Itasca, Minnesota; |
|---|
| 41 | 41 | | 4 Whereas, The Congress will feature breakout, impact, and |
|---|
| 42 | 42 | | 5 revival sessions organized with an array of themes, tailored to |
|---|
| 43 | 43 | | 6 various audiences, and featuring leading speakers from around |
|---|
| 44 | 44 | | 7 the globe; and |
|---|
| 45 | 45 | | 8 Whereas, It is fitting for the Indiana General Assembly to |
|---|
| 46 | 46 | | 9 recognize the honor of the State of Indiana in hosting this |
|---|
| 47 | 47 | | 10 historic gathering: Therefore, |
|---|
| 48 | 48 | | 11 Be it resolved by the Senate of the General Assembly |
|---|
| 49 | 49 | | 12 of the State of Indiana, the House of Representatives |
|---|
| 50 | 50 | | 13 concurring: |
|---|
| 51 | 51 | | 14 SECTION 1. That the Indiana General Assembly |
