About the Eucharistic Octave

30th May – 7th June 2026

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.
