Archbishop Marini explained that the event will be attended by thousands of
faithful from all over the world who, apart from celebrating the Eucharist
together, will pray and participate in a number of processions, eighteen
general conferences and
150 workshops and discussion groups, examining important religious themes and
experiencing "authentic ecclesial solidarity".

For his part Archbishop Martin recalled that Dublin had also hosted the
thirty-first International Eucharistic Congress in 1932. "The Church in
Ireland in 1932 was very different to the Church in Ireland today", he said.
"The Eucharistic Congress
must address its participants in the context of the culture in which they
live". In 2012 it must "reflect and present the Church in Ireland, a Church
which has faced and continues to face enormous challenges, but a Church which
is alive, energetic and
anxious to start a journey of renewal.
"There are divisions within the Irish Church", he added, "sometimes
unhealthy divisions. I believe it is helpful to look back to 1932 and to Irish
society of the time, which less than a decade previously had been lacerated by
a harsh civil war
lasting two years. It is a fact of great honour to my predecessor Archbishop
Edward Byrne that he celebrated the Congress as a moment of reconciliation and
rediscovered unity. For the first time in the newly independent Ireland, men
and woman on both
sides of a bitter divide met to work together on a shared project. The
Eucharist has the power to reconcile. Communion with Christ nourishes
communion and reconciliation with others".
Archbishop Martin went on: "The fiftieth International Eucharistic Congress
of Dublin will again be a moment of renewal and reconciliation; an event
reawakening awareness among all Catholics of the central place of the
Eucharist in the life of the
Church, the true summit to which all Church activities strive, the source
whence all Church life pours forth". The Congress will remind the Church in
Ireland "of the centrality of spiritual renewal and of the significance of the
Church as the Body of
Christ", he said.
The archbishop of Dublin also announced that the Congress will have an
ecumenical aspect, with the participation of other Christian Churches in
Ireland. The event will conclude in Croke Park on 17 June with a Mass
celebrated by Cardinal Marc Ouellet
P.S.S., prefect of the Congregation for Bishops and pontifical delegate to the
Congress. During the Mass a televised message from the Pope will be
broadcast.
