The Bishops of the United States are calling for a three-year grassroots revival of devotion and belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. They believe that God wants to see a movement of Catholics across the United States, healed, converted, formed, and unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist—and sent out in mission “for the life of the world.”
The revival will unfold in three phases: diocesan, parish, and national.
The first phase, now underway, will focus on diocesan efforts to help Catholics encounter the reality of Christ truly present in the Eucharist. Each Diocese will offer events that encourage the faithful to grow in their understanding and devotion to Christ in the Eucharist, complemented by online formation and resources that will seek to raise up Eucharistic Missionaries at all levels of the Church!
The second phase beginning in June 2024 will foster eucharistic devotion at the parish level, strengthening our liturgical life through eucharistic adoration, parish missions, resources, preaching, and other movements of the Holy Spirit. These local efforts will help convert hearts and minds to fall more deeply in love with Jesus Christ, truly present in the Holy Eucharist.
In phase 3, the revival will culminate in a National Eucharistic Congress in July 2024 to be held in Indianapolis. The Congress will kick off a year-long National Year of Mission which will last through Pentecost of 2025, during which the entire American Church will be sent on mission to share the gift of our Eucharistic Lord with their local communities and beyond.
We will update this page on a regular basis with resources and events. Stay tuned!
