Pope Francis Appoints Cardinal Tagle as Special Envoy to National Eucharistic Congress
The Vatican has announced that Pope Francis has appointed Cardinal Luis Antonio G. Tagle, Pro-Prefect of the Dicastery for the Evangelisation, as his Special Envoy to the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis, United States.
The Congress is set to take place in Indianapolis from July 17 to July 21, 2024, and is expected to be a significant event for Catholics in the United States. Cardinal Tagle’s role as Special Envoy underscores the importance of the Congress in the eyes of the Holy Father.
The theme of the Congress, as stated on its website, is centered around experiencing a personal revival and spreading the message of Christ’s love to the world. It is a call to all participants to deepen their faith and share it with those around them.
This news comes with additional blessings, as the Apostolic Penitentiary has granted indulgences for participants in the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage as well as the National Eucharistic Congress, in line with a mandate from Pope Francis.
It is clear that this Congress is not just a gathering of believers, but a transformative experience that aims to energize and inspire Catholics across the United States. Cardinal Tagle’s appointment as Special Envoy only serves to highlight the significance of this event in the eyes of the Vatican.
