How Can You Become Part of the Revival?
Bishop Cozzens, Chairman of the USCCB Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis, has described the National Eucharistic Revival as a movement, not a program. It is the hope of the Bishops, that through this initiative, people across the country will join them to help “light the fire of Eucharistic faith in our Church.” Here are some ways you can participate:
Pray!
- Sign-up to be a prayer partner for the Revival: https://www.eucharisticrevival.org/
- Commit time for personal prayer each day, particularly with the Scriptures
- Pray for our priests and deacons during this Diocesan Year who will experience retreats with a National Eucharistic Preacher and who are committed to deepening their own Eucharistic faith in the coming year.
