A hundred years ago, on June 20, 1926, Chicago became, for five extraordinary days, the beating heart of world Catholicism. Along the sparkling shores of Lake Michigan, clergy, religious, and faithful gathered in a united response to the call to better know, love, and serve Our Lord Jesus Christ in His Eucharistic Mystery—the very center of the Church’s life and her mission of universal salvation. The Roman Ritual defines a Eucharistic Congress as “a gathering (statio) to which a local church invites the other churches of the same region or of the same nation or of the whole world.”[1]
