The National Eucharistic Congress kicks off on Wednesday, and organizers say the more than 50,000 people planning to attend the event should feel safe inside Lucas Oil Stadium.

Bishop Andrew Cozzens, the chairman of the board of the congress, said they have been planning for a safe and secure event for years.

The congress has retained a nationally recognized security firm that is working with local, state, and federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

Around 200 pilgrims from the Diocese of Brooklyn are currently packing their bags for the congress.
