The 2026 National Eucharistic Congress is the Bishops’ invitation to renew our devotion to the Eucharistic Lord.
There are two main strands to the Adoremus National Eucharistic Congress in 2026.
In London, there will be a representative gathering of the Church with bishops, priests, and people. No less important is how Adoremus is marked in our parishes throughout England and Wales. Local Masses, processions of the Blessed Sacrament and Holy Hours will unite these local events with the national gathering. Footage from the London event will be made available to enable remote participation.
| 10.30am Presentations on Eucharistic Art and Life Those able to arrive early will enjoy these presentations, with refreshments available and information stands around the campus. |
| 12pm noon The Adoremus Mass Celebrated by Archbishop John Wilson, Archbishop of Southwark. |
