National EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL

Love of Jesus in the Eucharist Brings Vicariate Together In Recent Car Caravan Pilgrimage

It’s one of many programs leading us to the National Eucharistic Congress in July

The Holy Spirit and our love of Jesus in the Eucharist brought more than 250 people together for our Eucharistic Revival Car Caravan Pilgrimage on Sunday, April 14. Nearly 100 cars participated in the caravan that began with worship and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament at St. Michael. Together we traveled from our parish to St. Francis of Assisi Parish and then onto Our Lady of the Woods, adoring Jesus in the Eucharist as a body of Christ.

As part of a Holy Spirit-led initiative centering on the Eucharist, the Vicariate V Deanery Parishes are collaborating on several activities and programs to bring our faith communities together to worship and adore the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ that is present in the Blessed Sacrament. Our collaboration is part of the National Eucharistic Revival, a movement to restore understanding and devotion to the great mystery of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, which will culminate with the 10th National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis this July.

“Jesus invites all of us to return to the source and summit of our faith, which is the celebration of the Eucharist,” said Fr. Geofrey. “It is the center of who we are as Catholics. We hope that through our local programs and by attending the National Eucharistic Congress this summer, we will reignite in the hearts of many the love for Jesus that is present in the Eucharist.”

The National Eucharistic Congress, the first in 83 years, takes place July 17-21, 2024 in Indianapolis. Every day at the Congress is designed to facilitate a life-changing encounter with Jesus, regardless of where you are on your faith journey. Attendees will select their preferred series of impact sessions for the morning and breakout sessions for the afternoon. Then, gathered together as one, the whole assembly will experience the powerful revival sessions in Lucas Oil Stadium each evening.
