In June of 2008, the 49th International Eucharistic Congress will take place in Canada. In order to prepare for this special event, we are offering you seven sessions for catechesis which will serve you to further develop the themes of the foundational theological document The Eucharist, gift of God for the life of the world.

Each catachesis session offers detailed information that will guide the facilitator(s) through the objectives of each catechesis. Everything from the set-up of the room to a minute by minute outline of the individual modules are offered to guide, but certainly not limit, the facilitators toward the specific objectives.

If you are planning workshops on the Eucharist for your parish or group members I strongly suggest that you visit the 49th International Eucharistic Congress Web site for more details. Click here to view each of the seven catechesis modules.

These catechesis are an English adaptation, made by a group led by Mrs Joane Chafe of the CCCB. They are based on the original French catechesis.

You may freely download and photocopy these texts in PDF. We wish them to be used by as many persons as possible and to help them to better appreciate the richness of the Eucharistic Mystery.
