| Fr Kevin Doran with helpers for the Eucharistic Congress in Dublin |
We have received this message from the organisers of the Eucharistic Congress:
The
50th International Eucharistic Congress 2012
(IEC2012) will take place in Dublin from 10th to 17th June 2012.
Volunteers
will have an integral role to play in the success of the Congress. Between two
and three thousand volunteers will be needed during the week of the Congress
and also to assist in preparations in the months leading up to the Congress.
The
Congress is now recruiting volunteers for a wide range of roles and if you
would like to get involved please visit the IEC2012 website www.iec2012.ie/volunteer
and fill out an online
application or request an application form from the
Congress office. For more information
please contact the IEC2012 offices on (01) 2349900 or
volunteeradmin@iec2012.ie
The
Congress is planning for 80,000 participants in the closing ceremony; 25,000
participants each day; 12,000 international pilgrims, 5 continents and 2,500
young people. This will be the biggest
international event in Ireland in 2012, one that will have a significant impact
for Ireland with the largest gathering of the Irish Catholic Church since 1979.
