In an age marked by division and doubt, we need Jesus more than ever. We need him to heal us, convert us, form us, and unify us in his Real Presence. And nowhere are we closer to Jesus than in the gift of the Eucharist.
The Holy Spirit is inviting the Church in the United States into a season of profound renewal. In response to this invitation, the U.S. bishops have called for a three-year initiative: the National Eucharistic Revival.
The Revival is a grassroots movement to rekindle a living faith in the hearts of Catholics across America. Through life-changing local initiatives and unprecedented national gatherings, we will be sent out to share our Eucharistic faith with the world.
We are currently in year two of the Revival, which will include a National Eucharistic Pilgrimage and culminate in the first National Eucharistic Congress in 83 years. Read on to learn more about the Revival and each of its milestone moments!
Revival is not something we DO. It is a sovereign act of God. If we respond to his invitation with open hearts, he promises to do the rest. Get ready to be a part of something life-changing!
The Holy Spirit is asking Catholics across America to respond to four invitations. The first invitation calls for a renewed attentiveness to HOW we worship. The second invitation calls us to a renewed encounter with WHO we worship. The third invitation calls us to discover in greater depth WHY we worship Jesus in the Eucharist and what this incredible gift means. The fourth invitation calls us to ACT on our faith, bringing Christ to others and spreading the flame of revival.
Our whole-hearted, grassroots response to these invitations is what makes up the Revival movement. Already, historic initiatives are flowing from our national effort to cooperate with God’s grace!
While this movement pours outward in very public ways, it is important to remember that the Revival starts in our own hearts. Access this free library of digital resources to learn more about the reality of Jesus in the Eucharist and fall more deeply in love with him.
This is a truly unique initiative. Just as crowds followed Christ throughout his earthly ministry, our nation will process with our Eucharistic Lord from the north, south, east, and west edges of our country in the first-ever National Eucharistic Pilgrimage.
Join us as we accompany Jesus in the Eucharist across 6,500+ miles of the United States. Thousands will have a powerful opportunity for encounter and healing as Jesus comes to meet them on his way to the 10th National Eucharistic Congress, where he comes to encounter his people anew. Explore the four pilgrimage routes and learn more about how you can participate here.
For the first time in nearly a century, the Catholic Church from every corner of the United States is about to gather in one place. More than just a retreat or conference, the National Eucharistic Congress will be a pivotal moment in both American history and the legacy of the Catholic Church.
Each day at the Congress is designed to facilitate life-changing encounters with Jesus and incredible opportunities for formation from the most trusted voices in the Church. See the exciting lineup of speakers here, and find the full schedule here.
Together, we will be healed, converted, unified, and launched into a new chapter of Eucharistic mission. Whether you join us for one day or all five, the grace you receive will spill out into your community when you return home—deeply in love with the Eucharist and excited about the future of the Church in America.
Be part of this historic moment—register for the Congress today.
When enough hearts spark with love for our Eucharistic Lord, the flame will set our Church and nation ablaze with God’s grace! How is the Holy Spirit inviting you to participate in the Revival?
