Established in 1960 by Bishop William Brady, the Eucharistic Festival gathers the diocesan family to be united in its faith in the Presence of our Blessed Lord in the Bread and Wine of the Altar. In being so devoted, we can be united in making known God's presence to all people.​ The Festival includes the Holy Eucharist, Bishop's Picnic, Evening Prayer and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
