52nd International Eucharistic Congress
[1] The one-week event held regularly since 1881 (every four years in recent times) celebrates the Real presence of Christ in the Eucharist according to the teaching of the Catholic Church.[2] Cardinal Péter Erdő, Archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest saw a great significance for the Catholic Church in Hungary in hosting the event, which is an introduction towards the world.[2] The official start of the preparation was marked by a four-day visit of archbishop Piero Marini, president of the Pontifical Committee for International Eucharistic Congresses.[2] The General Secretariat of the Budapest International Eucharistic Congress was formed, and Péter Erdő nominated its chief secretary, Kornél Fábry (priest of the Diocese of Kaposvár).Eight subcommittees supported its work, responsible for the fields of theology, liturgy, arts, finances, media and event organisation.
