JUNE 2023–JUNE 2024

Every parish in the country will experience profound renewal while participating in grassroots efforts inspired by the four pillars (FOUR INVITATIONS) of the Revival. Parishes will be equipped with simple, proven tools to invite their community into the following:

1. REINVIGORATING WORSHIP:

• Renew the emphasis on the celebration of the liturgy

2. PERSONAL ENCOUNTERS:

• Host monthly Encounter Nights, featuring Eucharistic adoration and the Sacrament of Confession

3. ROBUST FAITH FORMATION:

• Implement the "Jesus and the Eucharist" Small Group Study

4. MISSIONARY SENDING:

• Bring lapsed brothers and sisters home with the “Invite One Back” campaign
• Recommit to serving the poor in your community in a new way

Overview:

In late 2019, a Pew Study indicated what many had long suspected: few Catholics, approximately 30 percent, fully believe in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.

Rationale:

"There is, then, a strong need for catechesis, renewed devotion, increase of missionary spirit, and a rejuvenated understanding of ecclesial communion that can only occur through a deepened understanding and a reinvigorated belief in the Eucharist."

Mission:

"To renew the Church by enkindling a living relationship with the Lord in the Holy Eucharist.
A movement of Catholics across the United States, healed, converted, formed, unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist - and sent out in mission 'for the life of the world.'"
~ USCCB Proposal for Eucharistic Revival Project 2021-2025

In the Eucharist We Come into the Real Presence of Christ:

Starting in 2022 and for the next three years, every Catholic diocese, parish, school, apostolate, and family are invited to be a part of renewing the Church by enkindling a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
