Eucharistic Revival - Communio by Invitation
-
-
Jesus Christ invites us to return to the source and summit of our faith: his Real Presence in the Eucharist. The National Eucharistic Revival is a movement of Catholics across the United States, healed, converted, formed, and unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist—and sent out in mission “for the life of the world.”
This is the beginning of a sustained movement to bring hope to the hopeless and peace to our broken world through deep, personal, and shared experiences with our Lord, Jesus in the Eucharist. And you're invited!
Below you'll find personal stories, resources for individuals and groups, and information on the diocesan 2024 pilgrimage to the National Eucharistic Congress, all to help you draw closer to Christ and share his love with those you encounter.
