Cardinal Seán O’Malley reminded us, “It is in the Eucharist where we find our true identity.” Thousands gathered together with our Cardinal Archbishop on June 18, 2022 to celebrate Jesus’ True Presence in the Eucharist. The Eucharistic Congress concluded with a Eucharistic Procession, where we brought Jesus out to the world, to remind everyone who they truly are.
We are now entering the second year of the National Eucharistic Revival—The Year of Parish Revival—which focuses on our parishes, the Church’s hands and feet in the world. This 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.” This 2nd year will conclude in Indianapolis, Indiana with the National Eucharistic Congress from July 17-21, 2024. At this historic event, more than 80,000 Catholics of all ages will gather in Indianapolis to reconsecrate their hearts to the source and summit of our faith.
The final year—Year of Going Out on Mission—will begin on July 2024 and conclude on 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 as we enter the universal Church’s jubilee year in 2025.
