The National Eucharistic Revival is a movement to restore understanding and devotion to the source and summit of our faith here in the United States.
The current phase of the Eucharistic Revival is the Year of Mission!
The Four Pillars of Mission
Eucharistic Encounter: In order to lead people to a relationship with Jesus in the Eucharist, we have to maintain an active relationship with him ourselves. This pillar focuses on deepening that personal relationship through prayer, adoration, and the sacraments. Regular, profound encounters with Jesus strengthen us to be a more authentic and powerful witness to his love.
Eucharistic Identity (click link for more): To truly live out our mission as Catholics, we must first embrace our identity as beloved children of the Father, shaped by our relationship with Christ in the Eucharist. This pillar emphasizes the importance of internalizing and living out the teachings and love of Jesus, allowing our Eucharistic encounters to define who we are. Through these encounters, our hearts and minds are transformed, guiding us to reflect Christ’s love in every aspect of our lives.
Eucharistic Life (click link for more):This pillar encourages us to integrate our love for Christ into every aspect of our lives, transforming daily actions into continuous acts of worship and service. As we love Christ more, our lives become configured to his, reflecting his sacrificial love. When we live a Eucharistic life, we join in Christ’s self-offering, allowing his love to flow through us to others.
Eucharistic Mission: This pillar is a call to evangelize—boldly spreading the Good News of Christ’s Eucharistic love and mercy in word and deed. As our love for Christ deepens, our lives will become increasingly configured to his mission, compelling us to serve others with his heart. We will be drawn to compassionate service, living our call to be his hands and feet to our neighbors and bring his presence to the margins.
So Where Do We Start?
We start by Walking With One. Yes, we are all called to evangelize! At our baptism, we were given a three-fold mission - to be priest (not ministerial per se), prophet & king. So let us take what we've learned, along with that which God wrote on our hearts, and after praying on it, evangelize the one God has pointed us to.

Eucharistic Encounter
Join us 6:30pm Thursday, January 2nd, for a holy hour of Adoration
To aid in living out the pillar "Eucharistic Encounter" (see below), we will be having traditional adoration for an hour Thursday, January 2nd, at 6pm. Receive a brief overview on the call to Walk With One followed by a holy hour of adoration with incense, traditional prayers and sacred silence. Enjoy tuning out the world for a short time and soaking up the rays of the Son while listening in the silence for His "still small voice" (1Kings 19:12) calling you to your mission.
