The National Eucharistic Revival is a 3–year initiative that was launched in 2022 on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi). Each of the 3 years has its own particular focus. During the first year, June 2022–June 2023, the focus was primarily at the diocesan level, inviting diocesan staff, bishops, and priests to a "renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ" in the Holy Eucharist. The Year of Parish Revival began on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, June 2023. In addition to fostering greater Eucharistic devotion on the parish level, the year is also marked by such events as the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage and the National Eucharistic Congress, July 17-21, 2024. The Congress will launch the final phase of the revival, the Year of Mission, the goal of which is to send "on-fire Catholics out to share Christ’s love 'for the life of the world,'" seeking to "spread the Revival movement throughout the Church’s 2025 Jubilee Year and beyond."
In the Diocese of Evansville, the Eucharistic Revival is focused on four main goals:
1. Believe: Foster belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
2. Worship: Foster attendance at Mass, as well as valuing Mass in its entirety.
3. Live: Encourage living in such a way so as to reflect the Eucharist in our daily lives.
4. Share: Encourage sharing the truth, beauty and goodness of Mass with others so that they in turn may be drawn to it.

Initiatives from Around the Diocese
Parishes, schools, diocesan departments and other groups within the Diocese of Evansville were asked to share their ideas for how they plan to celebrate the Eucharistic Revival. These have been compiled in the downloadable document below. May they be a source of inspiration and encouragement, and may they foster the sharing of initiatives and resources between everyone.
To the degree that all the various ministries in our diocese take ownership of this initiative and rely on the assistance of God’s grace in doing so, there is potential for deep and lasting fruits to be born. All the people of our diocese are encouraged to actively and intentionally participate in it. Why not take part in your parish's and school's efforts, as well as make a few resolutions of your own? Furthermore, please keep the Eucharistic Revival in your prayers. The Renewal truly depends on them!

"Encountering the Eucharist"
"Encountering the Eucharist" is a monthly handout that was put together by one of our diocese's Parish Catechetical Leaders as a contribution to our Eucharistic Revival. It may be used as a bulletin insert, school handout, etc. As the first issue expresses:
"Encountering the Eucharist" is intended to connect you with the rich Eucharistic Traditions and Teachings of the Catholic Church through articles on the beliefs, the worship, the lives of Saints devoted to the Eucharist, and ways we can share our Catholic identity with the world, especially as it relates to Jesus’ Real Presence in the Source and Summit of our faith: The Most Holy Eucharist.
