By Jennifer Barton, Rhode Island Catholic Correspondent - PROVIDENCE — The Church is not dead. Not by a long shot. Secular media outlets might make such a claim by pointing toward declining numbers of Catholics in the pews every Sunday, but the Church has gone through trials in the past and the devout have risen to leave their mark on the Church and the world.

Join us Saturday, May 18 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Rejoice in Hope Center, 804 Dyer Ave., Cranston. This session is for those already registered for the July 2024 trip AND for those who are interested! Join us for the morning and learn all about this once in a life time Pilgrimage! We will be reviewing logistics for the trip, going through the day-to-day itinerary, discussing any questions/concerns you may have, and getting to know one another prior to our departure in July! There is NO obligation, this is an info session only!

The Diocese of Providence packages for the National Eucharistic Congress have been reduced by $300! Why? Well, the Diocese of Providence will be supporting each pilgrim from our diocese by paying for their 5-day Congress passes That means each travel package has been reduced by $300! These packages are only available for a limited time and must be purchased by Friday May 31 at the very latest, first come, first served. Make a payment now to secure your spot! Learn more!

Parishes from every corner in our nation will gather at the feet of Jesus, boldly anticipating a new Pentecost at the 10th National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis. Your life—and our Church—will never be the same! Travel with us!
