Diocese Kicks Off 25th Anniversary Jubilee With Eucharistic Congress

We had the great privilege and blessing to attend the Diocese of Knoxville’s Eucharistic Congress on 14 Sept 2013 at the invitation of Bishop Stika. The Congress helped begin the celebration of Diocese’s 25th anniversary and brought together over 5,000 fervent Catholics from all over. We enjoyed presentations by Dr. Scott Hahn, Father Robert Barron, Eucharistic Adoration led by Cardinal Rigali, the keynote address by Cardinal Dolan and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

The halls were packed, the corridors crammed, and the confession lines long…all delightful signs that the Year of Faith is bearing much fruit in East Tennessee.
