Spread over five days in June 1932, the 31st International Eucharistic Congress was the largest public event ever held in Ireland. Coming 1,500 years after the arrival of St. Patrick in Ireland, just ten years after Irish independence and in the first year of Fianna Fail's first term in government, the stars were aligned over Roman Catholic Ireland.

On the opening night of the Congress, midnight Mass was held in every church in Dublin, while the words 'Adoramus', 'Laudamus', 'Glorificamus' were beamed into the night sky in in sky writing. At the moment the Host was elevated the church bells rang and the beams of dozens of searchlights met at one point in the heavens and formed a perfect cone”.

On the final day over a million souls attended Mass in the Phoenix Park, celebrated by Cardinal Lauri, the Papal Legate. Count John McCormack sang Panis Angelicus amplified by the most powerful public address system in the World.
