Eucharistic Revival 2022-2025

The National Eucharistic Revival launched June 19 on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, or the Feast of Corpus Christi. The revival is a three-year mission by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to “renew the Church by enkindling a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.” You can find news and resources on this page.

Walk With One

In the Scriptures, we hear over and over how Jesus invited people one by one to follow him. He also invites us to follow him more deeply and, just like him, to “walk with one” person to a new or renewed experience of God’s love.

Evangelization, or “bringing the Good News,” typically happens in one-on-one moments that are not planned or scripted. This can happen at the grocery store, the bus stop, or a sporting event. As Pope Francis has noted, “Anyone who has truly experienced God’s saving love does not need much time or lengthy training to go out and proclaim that love” (Evangelii Gaudium, no. 120).

You might be asking yourself: Where do I start with inviting someone to take a step closer to Jesus? How might I invite them forward in their faith?

Revival Mass and Procession

Bishop Bullock has asked that we celebrate the Year of Missionary Sending of the National Eucharistic Revival in the same way we began with a Mass and Procession on the Feast of Corpus Christi. He also asked that parishes offer something in their parish to mark this important milestone of the Revival, i.e. a Holy Hour and send-off for those who will participate in the procession or a concurrent holy hour for those who cannot come, etc.

Here are the details of the Diocesan event:

Sunday, June 22, 2025
Mass @ 3:00 pm at the Cathedral
Procession from Cathedral to Memorial Park Bandshell immediately after (approx. 4:15 pm)
Benediction at the park followed by a picnic

If you plan to come to the procession, but won’t be attending the Mass, please gather on the east sidewalk across from the Cathedral and join the procession after it crosses 5^th Street.

Busing will be provided back to Cathedral and ICC. Participants who cannot walk the entire route can join at ICC for the remaining ½ mile.

Parishes are invited to bring a parish banner.

First Communicants are invited to process in their First Communion outfits accompanied by a parent or other adult.

Participants are encouraged to bring a water bottle and a blanket for the picnic.

Priests and deacons are asked to let the Cathedral know if they are participating by June 10^th.

Revival Kick-off Procession

The National Eucharistic Revival launched June 19 on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, or the Feast of Corpus Christi. The Diocese of Rapid joined other dioceses in the United States with a Eucharistic procession that day. Bishop Peter Muhich began the observance with 3 p.m. Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Rapid City. The procession began at 4:30 p.m. and 500 people walked from the cathedral to Memorial Park about 20 blocks away. At the park they were joined by 100 more people for benediction with the bishop. The day concluded with a picnic served by area Knights of Columbus councils. The revival is a three-year mission by the United States Council of Catholic Bishops to “renew the Church by enkindling a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.”
