5 Eucharistic Miracles Exhibit We believe in the Real Presence of Jesus, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, in what continues to look, smell and taste like bread and wine. It is a great mystery of our faith, but Jesus said This is my Body, this is my Blood and we can take Him at His word. Throughout history, people have doubted this and God has allowed miracles to take place through the Eucharist, such as preserving the Consecrated Hosts for hundreds of years, becoming images of the Christ Child and even becoming actual Flesh and Blood. Science can only prove these items to be miracles! With an extensive assortment of photographs and historical descriptions, the exhibition presents some of the principal Eucharistic Miracles that took place throughout the ages in various countries of the world and which have been recognized by the Church. By means of the panels, one can virtually visit the places where the miracles took place. The current exhibition includes 153 panels that are used to explain 152 Eucharistic Miracles with an additional 22 country and historical panel maps, all of which are available on a DVD in both high and low definition. The exhibition has already visited well over 3000 parishes in Italy, the USA, Canada and in many other countries as well and has been translated into numerous languages. Where: St Mary s Parish, Neillsville When: Friday February 10- Sunday February 12 Friday 6:30pm-8:30pm Saturday 9am-8pm- short presentation by exhibitor at 1pm and 6:15pm Sunday 9am-1pm- short presentation by exhibitor at 9:30am There is no charge for the exhibit but free will offerings will be accepted for the exhibitors expenses
