Eucharistic Revival 

A three-year National Eucharistic Revival began in the United States on 19^th June 2022 (the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ). The aim of the Revival is to renew the Church by promoting and developing a living relationship with our Lord in the Eucharist. The Revival has a number of phases:

• Diocesan Year (2022-2023)

• Parish Year (2023-2024)

• Year of Going Out on Mission (2024-2025)

The Revival will culminate in a National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis from 17^th-21^st July 2024. Some helpful information can be found at www.EucharisticRevival.org
