Taking its theme from the Bread of Life discourse in John’s Gospel - "My Flesh for the Life of the World" - the Eucharistic Revival is a call and a challenge from the USCCB for every Catholic across the United States to reencounter a relationship with and rekindle devotion for the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus.
How long is the Eucharistic Revival?
Year 1 - Diocesan Year (2022-23) focuses on "forming the formers" regarding the revival and aiding in their own encounter with the Eucharistic Lord.
Year 2 - Parish Year (2023-24) focuses on grassroots efforts to foster Eucharistic encounter, belief, and devotion—leading to acts of missional service.
A National Eucharistic Congress will occur July 17-24, 2024 in Indianapolis.
Year 3 - Going Forth (2024 onward) where dioceses and churches will be called to go forth on mission to those not reached in these two years.
When does the Eucharistic Revival begin?
The Eucharistic Revival begins in every diocese in the United States on the weekend of the Solemnity of Corpus Christi—June 18-19, 2022.
Bishop da Cunha will commence our diocese's participation in the Revival on Saturday, June 18 at Bishop Connolly High School with a 4 PM Vigil Mass, immediately followed by a Eucharistic procession. The evening will conclude with time in Eucharistic Adoration, Confession, and Benediction.
