The letter must be sent to the IEC 2024 press office email (oficinaprensa@iec2024.ec) and “must include the web address, email and contact telephone number of the media outlet,” in addition to the number of journalists who you want to credit the media, including their names.
“Once the IEC 2024 press office receives the request, in response a link with username and password will be sent for use by the media, so that each of the communicators and technicians can complete the accreditation form, online,” the note specifies.
If the accreditations are approved, they will be delivered in Quito, with which journalists will have “access to the press room and other spaces of the Congress.”
The IEC 2024 press office told ACI Prensa that the deadline for the accreditation application expires on August 26.
The International Eucharistic Congress Quito 2024 (IEC 2024)
The International Eucharistic Congress (IEC Quito 2024), which will take place from September 8 to 15, has as its theme “Fraternity to heal the world.”
In May the Vatican reported that Pope Francis had appointed Cardinal Joseph Farell, prefect of the Dicastery for the Laity, Life and Family, as his special envoy to the IEC.
“The 53rd International Eucharistic Congress, which will be held in Quito from September 8 to 15 of this year, has chosen EWTN as its official channel, which will broadcast everything related” to this great event, explained Father Juan Carlos Garzón, general secretary of the IEC Quito 2024, in statements to ACI Prensa in May.
Before the congress itself, a theological symposium will be held in Quito from September 4 to 7.
Registration for the International Eucharistic Congress, both for the symposium and for the congress itself, opened on January 31 and can be done through the event website: https://www.iec2024.ec/

I have been a husband since 2008. My wife and I have three children here and one who went to heaven in 2023, before he was born. Since I joined ACI Prensa in 2005, I have had the opportunity to cover various events of the Catholic Church. Among them, the World Youth Days in Cologne, Madrid and Rio de Janeiro and the apostolic trips of Pope Benedict XVI to Mexico and of Pope Francis to South Korea. I have been sent to the Vatican to cover the Family synods, in 2015; of the Amazon, in 2019 and that of Synodality, in 2023. I closely follow the situation of the Catholic Church in Nicaragua, which suffers persecution from the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega, as well as current ecclesiastical events in the region.
