IEC pilgrim symbol visits ICC

Pasig City - The pilgrim symbol of the 51st International Eucharistic Congress slated to be held in Cebu on Jan. 24 - 31, 2016 arrived in the Diocese of the Pasig at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral Pasig City as part of the nationwide awareness efforts and to pray for the successful holding of the momentous event.

There are three objectives of the 51st International Eucharistic Congress:

1. Promote awareness of the central place of the Eucharist in the life and mission of the Church:
The Eucharist is the source and summit of Christian life.  The Church makes the Eucharist and the Eucharist makes the Church.

2. Help improve our understanding and celebration of the liturgy - Full, conscious, and active participation in the liturgy

3. Draw attention to the social dimension of the Eucharist - We become the Body of Christ.

In 2021, as we celebrate 500 years of Christianity in the Philippines, let this be an opportunity for us to to renew our nation's commitment to be patterned after the very heart of Jesus through the reception of most Holy Eucharist.

The pilgrim symbol will continue its journey to the Diocese of Cubao at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Quezon City after the 12:15 mass.
