An anticipated ten thousand Catholics from across England and Wales gather in Liverpool for the first National Eucharistic Congress in 110 years. This unique event sees people of all backgrounds coming together in thought, prayer and reflection, focussing on the Sacrament of the Eucharist and how this central tenet of the Catholic faith has an impact on their lives and the world around them.

A dynamic element of the congress is the meeting of thousands of young people at Liverpool Echo Arena. The day is based around worship, with music from Jo Boyce and CJM Music and One Hope Collective. Reflections come from the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, Vincent Nichols and international speaker and author, Katie Prejean-McGrady. The Archbishop of Liverpool, the Most Reverend Malcolm McMahon, presides at the gathering. Producer: Katharine Longworth.
