Celebrating the Eucharistic Heart of the Catholic Church
Now in its fourth year, the London Eucharistic Octave gathers Catholics of all traditions together in the heart of the nation’s capital to honour Our Eucharistic Lord, celebrate the richness of the Catholic Church and take to the streets of London to share the message that Christus Vincit!
About the Eucharistic Octave
25th May – 2nd June 2024
The Westminster Parishes of Maiden Lane & Spanish Place, together with the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy, the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, and the Order of Malta, invite you to a week of celebrations, centred on the Blessed Sacrament.
Continuing the legacies of the International Eucharistic Congresses, and the Adoremus Eucharistic Congress in Liverpool, the Octave will be bringing Christ to the streets of London, and honouring Him in the Most Holy Eucharist.
Discover the Richness of Catholicism
The week will involve celebrations in the various Rites of the Catholic Church, from the Dominican and Roman Rites, to the Ukrainian Divine Liturgy, and the Ordinariate Use of the Roman Missal.
