Jesus Is Invading Tampa Bay – Will You Join Him?

Did you know that Tampa Bay was originally named “Bahia del Espiritu Santo” (Bay of the Holy Spirit) by Spanish missionaries and explorers who first settled in this region. Tampa’s rich spiritual heritage dates back to these early settlements and continues to be an integral part of Tampa’s diverse cultural tapestry. This event will bring together members of our Catholic community in a celebration of faith, an opportunity to honor our city’s historical roots and spiritual heritage and let our hearts be captivated by the Eucharist to go into our city to be the hands and feet of Jesus. 

This Jubilee Year, Jesus is invading Tampa Bay. We hand over they keys to the city to our Eucharistic Lord. Come discover the reason for our hope in the “Bay of the Holy Spirit” as 12,000 believers gather for a powerful day of faith, worship, and transformation. The 2025 Eucharistic Encounter will ignite hearts on Saturday, September 20th, at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida—a free event open to everyone!  Experience a dynamic celebration featuring Mass, Adoration, and an inspiring lineup of nationally recognized speakers and musicians. Led by Most Rev. Gregory L. Parkes, Bishop of the Diocese of Saint Petersburg, this event is designed to transform lives and unite our community in faith.
