Revival’s in the Air
AN EXCITING JOURNEY AHEAD
Our world is hurting. We all need healing, yet many of us are separated from the very source of our strength. Jesus Christ invites us to return to the source and summit of our faith in the celebration of the Eucharist. The National Eucharistic Revival is a movement to restore understanding and devotion to this great mystery here in the United States by helping us renew our worship of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.
What’s Next?
It takes time to kindle a living, loving relationship — and a relationship with Jesus Christ is no exception. That’s why the Eucharistic Revival allows three years for discernment, encounter, and grassroots response on the diocesan, parish, and individual levels. Find out what to expect along this journey:
THE FEAST OF CORPUS CHRISTI • June 19, 2022
A national response to the Lord’s call with widespread eucharistic processions and adoration on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.
YEAR OF DIOCESAN REVIVAL • June 19, 2022 – June 11, 2023
This first year of the Revival 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.
YEAR OF PARISH REVIVAL • June 11, 2023 – July 17, 2024
The second 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.
NATIONAL EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS • July 17 – 21, 2024
Indianapolis, Indiana
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.
YEAR OF GOING OUT ON MISSION
July 21, 2024 – 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.

EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS From Sept. 23 to 25 hundreds of the faithful of the Diocese of Paterson attended the three-day Eucharistic Congress in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Paterson held in English and Spanish. Archbishop Rino Fisichella, pro-prefect for the Section of New Evangelization of the Dicastery for Evangelization in Rome, gave several reflections. The Eucharist is “the presence of the risen Christ, a symbol of salvation to the world” that “calls all of us to new life for the transformation of the world and sanctification of humanity,” he said.

"The Eucharist is 'the source and summit of the Christian life.' 'The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch.'" -
