A panel of speakers will explore the connection between Eucharist and mission, what Pope Benedict XVI called, “an essential part of the Eucharistic form of the Christian life.” Marilyn Santos, Associate Director in the Secretariat for Evangelization and Catechesis at the USCCB, and an ex-officio member of the USCMA Board of Directors, will give an overview of the revival to date, the plans for the Eucharistic Congress, opportunities for missionary communities at the Congress, and the “missionary year” following the Congress.
