About the National Eucharistic Revival

The National Eucharistic Revival is a three-year process
sponsored by the U.S. Catholic Bishops to “inspire and pre-
pare the People of God to be formed, healed, converted, unit-
ed, and sent out to a hurting and hungry world through a re-
newed encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist – the source and
summit of our Catholic faith” (quote taken from the website
for the National Eucharistic Revival).
The first year, beginning on June 19, 2022 and continuing
until June 2023, has been identified as the Year of Diocesan
Revival. The Very Rev. John-Michael Lavelle, coordinator of
the Eucharistic Revival in the Diocese of Youngstown and the
diocese’s Vicar for Missionary Discipleship, says that in the
diocesan year, “we will travel to all parts of the diocese, united
in the Mass, Eucharistic Processions, and Holy Hours – lead-
ing us to a deeper appreciation of the presence of Christ in our
lives.”
The second year of the Eucharistic Revival has been identi-
fied as the Year of Parish Revival and will run from June 2023
until July 2024. It will include efforts to strengthen Eucharistic
devotion and experience at the parish level. Father Lavelle
notes that, “In the early days of our diocese, a book was pre-
pared, entitled, The March of the Eucharist, which highlight-
ed all the places of worship in which we celebrated the
Eucharist – mainly, our parish Churches. The Eucharistic
Revival is an opportunity to discover that the ‘march of
the Eucharist’ continues in new ways and that, having
experienced the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist,
we are called to share him with the world.”
In July 2024, a National Eucharistic Congress will be held
in Indianapolis, Indiana, the tenth in the history of the United
States, inaugurating the “Year of Going Out on Mission” until
Pentecost 2025.
