National Eucharistic Revival

The United States Bishops have put forth a three-year plan to revive our understanding of and devotion to the Most Holy Eucharist! The Eucharist is the “source and summit” of our faith. It is the saving Sacrifice of Christ our Lord, made present to us in the celebration of the Holy Mass, and communicated most intimately through the devout reception of Holy Communion. It was launched on June 19, 2022, on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (The Feast of Corpus Christi).

Year of Diocesan Revival

June 19, 2022 – June 11, 2023

This first year of the Revival invites diocesan staff, bishops, and priests to respond to the Lord’s personal invitation and equips them to share this love with the faithful through eucharistic congresses and events.

Year of Parish Revival

June 11, 2023 – July 17, 2024

The second phase will foster Eucharistic devotion at the parish level, strengthening our liturgical life through faithful celebration of the Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, missions, resources, preaching, and organic movements of the Holy Spirit.

National Eucharistic Congress

July 17 – 21, 2024

Indianapolis, Indiana. At this historic event, Catholics of all ages will gather in Indianapolis to reconsecrate their hearts to the source and summit of our faith.

Year of Going Out on Mission

July 21, 2024 – Pentecost 2025

Having enkindled a missionary fire in the hearts of the American faithful, the Holy Spirit will send us out on mission to share the gift of our Eucharistic Lord.

Dear brothers and sisters, this information is shared with you because we have already started talking about the Eucharistic Revival in our church during Sunday Homily. Let us make use of this opportunity to strengthen our faith in the real presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, to participate in the celebration more meaningfully, and to bring others to experience this divine banquet.
