Since Pope Leo is the head of a foreign government, the Holy See, diplomatic protocol requires that the Australian government extend a formal invitation and that he respond to it.<\/p>\n<p>In the strongest indication yet that the pope will come to Sydney, Pope Leo told Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher of his intention to attend the International Eucharistic Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Umbers, CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/eucharist28.org\/\">Eucharist28,<\/a> told a Feb. 9 press conference at St. Mary\u2019s Cathedral: \u201cArchbishop Anthony Fisher was in Rome speaking to Pope Leo. He said to him, \u2018Look, we\u2019re counting down the days for you to come to the International Eucharistic Congress, which will be held here in 2028\u2019 and the pope said, \u2018Well, it\u2019s still a way off, but I\u2019ll be there.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The year 2028 will mark the 100th anniversary of Australia\u2019s first International Eucharistic Congress \u2014 in Melbourne in 1928. Melbourne also hosted the quadrennial event in 1973. That congress was attended by two saints \u2014 Cardinal Karol Wojty\u0142a, now St. John Paul II, and Mother Teresa, now St. Teresa of Calcutta.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-related-articles\">\n<h3 class=\"related-article\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewtnnews.com\/vatican\/pope-leo-xiv-will-not-travel-to-the-united-states-in-2026-vatican-says\">Pope Leo XIV will not travel to the United States in 2026, Vatican says<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>With the massive event still two-and-a-half years away, many logistical issues still need to be resolved. But Umbers sketched out the International Eucharistic Congress\u2019 main features.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe congress itself will be run for a week. There\u2019ll be an opening Mass,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then one would expect, if the pope is able to make it, which we really hope he does, in the latter part of that week he will be involved in a very, very long and large Eucharistic procession, which will be very exciting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then there will be a final Mass. As we\u2019ve seen with previous papal visits, it also brings people all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Umbers was reluctant to forecast attendance at the final Mass. But he said: \u201cGiven that there are 5 million Catholics in Australia, we expect hundreds of thousands to attend the Mass and to be at the conference and many to come from overseas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A visit in 2028 will be the fifth time that a reigning pope has visited Australia. Pope Paul VI was the first, in 1970. Pope John Paul II visited twice \u2014 in 1986 and in 1995, when he beatified Mother Mary MacKillop. Benedict XVI came to Sydney for World Youth Day in 2008. All of them said Mass at Randwick Racecourse. In 2008, 400,000 attended the Mass \u2014 the largest crowd in Australia\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the most important metrics are the spiritual ones, Umbers emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope that Eucharist28 will invigorate people in their faith, to appreciate the presence of Jesus among us, and through spiritual conversion, return to their parish renewed and on fire with love for the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In practical terms, this hopefully means a substantial uptick in Sunday Mass attendance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll Catholics are invited to Sunday Mass,\u201d Umbers told <a href=\"https:\/\/catholicweekly.com.au\/pope-leo-to-come-to-australia\/\">The Catholic Weekly<\/a>, \u201cand we would love to see more. We would love to see everyone in church. All are welcome!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The presence of Pope Leo XIV should make the event even more attractive. \u201cIt will be a tremendous boost to the faith of the faithful and to seekers,\u201d Umbers said, \u201cbecause the opportunity it presents to hear directly from the successor of Peter will move hearts with the help of the Holy Spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Father Robert Prevost, the pope visited Australia several times. \u201cHe knows that it is a place where there are many Catholics from communities that represent the whole world,\u201d Umbers said. \u201cAnd this will be an opportunity to speak to the world of the saving message of Jesus Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While dates are yet to be announced, there has been some suggestion that Eucharist28 could coincide with the Rugby League Grand Final.<\/p>\n<p>But Umbers is optimistic that this logistical wrinkle can be ironed out. \u201cSydney is a great international city, and will do everything we can to facilitate attendance at the Mass. A lot of Catholics love their footy \u2014 and if the Doggies were to make it into the Grand Final, I could have trouble trying to get some of my priests along to the final Mass,\u201d he quipped.<\/p>\n<p><em>This story was<\/em>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/catholicweekly.com.au\/pope-leo-to-come-to-australia\/\"><em>first published by The Catholic Weekly<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<em>and has been adapted and reprinted by EWTN News with permission.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pope Leo XIV has indicated he will visit Sydney in the spring of 2028 to preside over the International Eucharistic Congress, Bishop Richard Umbers, CEO of the organizing body, announced Feb. 9.
