The Church in the United States is in the midst of a national Eucharistic Revival organized by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. If you are unaware of the the purpose of this revival the excerpt below comes from the website for the Revival: 

The National Eucharistic Revival is a three-year initiative sponsored by the Bishops of the United States to inspire and prepare the People of God to be formed, healed, converted, united, and sent out to a hurting and hungry world through a renewed encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist – the source and summit of our Catholic faith. The Revival officially launched in June 2022, and its milestone event will be a National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis, IN, from July 17-21, 2024. The National Eucharistic Revival and National Eucharistic Congress are a direct response to the Holy Father’s call for a “pastoral and missionary conversion which cannot leave things as they presently are” so that the Church in the United States might be “permanently in a state of mission” (Evangelii Gaudium, n. 25).

This eucharistic movement seeks to bring together clergy, religious, laity, apostolates, movements, and parish and diocesan leaders to spur momentum, collaboration, and lasting impact for the renewal of the Catholic Church in the U.S. over the next three years. Each year will have a strategic focus for formation and missionary discipleship.

The last couple of years have been a time of focusing on the Church’s love for Christ and our understanding of how He comes to us in the Holy Eucharist. Next month the Eucharistic Congress, the milestone event of the Revival, will take place in Indianapolis, Indiana.
