The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra (ISO) will perform at the closing Mass of the National Eucharistic Congress due to a generous grant, organizers told Our Sunday Visitor.

“I hope that the music at the National Eucharistic Congress helps … people to set aside the distractions of the world, the distractions of life, the divisions of the world, the divisions in our own life, and to recenter their focus on Jesus,” Dave Moore, director of music and liturgy for congress, said. “I hope that it helps facilitate an encounter for people to come to know Jesus.”

The 10th National Eucharistic Congress, the first National Eucharistic Congress held in 83 years, will take place July 17-21 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The event marks the culmination of the National Eucharistic Revival, a three-year initiative by the U.S. Catholic bishops that seeks to renew the Catholic Church by enkindling a living relationship with Jesus Christ in the holy Eucharist. Organizers expect as many as 80,000 Catholics to attend.
