“The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because the loaf of bread is one, we, though many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf.”

The National Eucharistic Revival Parish Phase
June 11, 2023-June 17, 2024
In the first year of the revival events will be focused at the diocesan level. Beginning on the Feast of the Body and Blood of Jesus (Corpus Christi) 2023, events will move to the parishes.
Pastors, Directors of Evangelization, or liturgical ministers should identify between 2-4 individuals to lead the parish phase of the revival within their respective pastorates. These individuals should attend training events scheduled by the chancery in the first half of 2023.
It is suggested that pastorates begin the parish phase by conducting a Eucharistic procession on the Feast of Corpus Christi in 2023.
Available Resources to Facilitate the Parish Phase within the Pastorate
The following resources are provided on the National Eucharistic Revival Website to facilitate planning at the pastorate / parish level.
- Diocesan Leader's Playbook
- Program for Priestly Renewal
- Music Aids for the Eucharistic Revival
- Bulletin Inserts for the National Eucharistic Revival
Future Resources Planned to Facilitate Parish Phase Planning
The USCCB is planning to issue a parish playbook for the National Eucharistic Revival in early 2023. The diocese will notify pastorates as soon as it is available.
The Catholic Pastoral Center plans to hold two training sessions to prepare pastorates for the parish phase of the revival.First Training Session (January 14, 2023)
Scheduling a Designated National Eucharistic Revival Preacher
Until further notice, the USCCB has designated a single diocesan point of contact for scheduling Eucharistic Preachers. If they loosen this policy in the future to permit direct engagement by the pastorates, we will let you know and provide directions on this page.

“The Eucharistic Revival is not a program to download or formula to follow. Instead, Our Lord is inviting you to follow his lead, meeting the unique needs of your community in the way that best fits the culture and character of your people. That’s what makes this movement grassroots!”
