National Eucharistic Revival

“The Eucharist is the food, which satiates completely the deepest aspirations of the human person. It is the Bread of Eternal Life, that is, the food which sustains us as we make our journey. It will give us strength to cross the threshold of death into eternal life. Indeed this celebration is what characterizes us as Catholics.”

Archbishop Broglio

The bishops in the United States announced a three-year Eucharistic Revival beginning on June 19, 2022, the Feast of Corpus Christi. The first year is the Year of Diocesan Revival, which 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. The four pillars of the National Eucharistic Revival are:
  • Personal Encounters: Bring your people to Jesus
  • Reinvigorating Devotion: Receive Jesus. Worship Jesus
  • Deepening Formation: Learn and preach the truth about Jesus
  • Missionary Sending: Go out and bring Jesus to the world

Year of Parish Revival

The Year of Parish Revival takes place June 11, 2023 through July 17, 2024 with Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, missions, resources, preaching, and organic movements of the Holy Spirit. Resources available online include prayers, music, bulletin inserts, and more. Sign up to receive the Year of Parish Revival Playbook with concrete steps that address the four invitations at the heart of the revival. The senior priest in military settings may appoint a point person to assist the military Catholic faith community throughout the Year of Parish Revival. Responsibilities include leading the small group initiative and exploring ways to implement the Year of the Parish Revival Playbook. The goal of this ministry is to fan sparks of Eucharistic faith into flame! Consult the senior priest in your military setting and visit the website of the Eucharistic Revival to learn more.

National Eucharistic Pilgrimage

To mark the National Eucharistic Congress happening this July, the Blessed Sacrament will be carried on foot, by motorcade, and by boat across the continental United States in the shape of a cross.  Pilgrims will undertake this life-changing journey both as an act of reverence for the Blessed Sacrament and to witness publicly that Jesus is a King worth following. Learn about opportunities to join one of the four paths of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage for the entire journey or a short period of time.

Explore the new interactive map which details each of the routes and consider joining part of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage. The AMS has created a spreadsheet which details when the various routes will be in the vicinity of military installations. Be sure to confirm these dates and locations on the pilgrimage website.
