Heritage Talk: Eucharist: Comfort of Martyrs
January 20, 2025 @ 5:15 pm
Easter Sunday 2024 marked the centennial anniversary of the celebration of the first Public Mass held inside the National Shrine. The celebration of the inauguration of the liturgical life of this grand and noble votive church in honor of Mary, the Immaculate Conception, will be celebrated throughout 2024 and 2025.
Judith Kelly, a longtime social justice activist in the Washington, D.C. area, will offer a talk inspired by Blessed Jerzy Popiełuszko, the Martyr of Solidarity, entitled “Eucharist: Comfort of Martyrs.” We invite you to join us in the Crypt Church following the 5:15 p.m. Mass on Monday January 20, 2025.
Following the event, the presentation will be made available for viewing on the National Shrine’s Website and YouTube Channel.
