Eucharistic Missionaries

Embracing Our Apostolic Roots

As fruit of the National Eucharistic Revival movement, it is time to be sent out on mission as Eucharistic Missionaries.  

Jesus in the Eucharist is the answer to every restless longing of the human heart. If we truly believe this, then that living faith will compel us to share this joy with our brothers and sisters! That's what the third year of the Revival—the Year of Mission—is all about.

This is an exciting new season of the Revival movement. The Holy Spirit has enkindled a missionary fire in the heart of our nation, and now he is sending out every member of the Church to spread the Good News—sharing the gift of our Eucharistic Lord with those on the margins. And YOU are invited to be a part of it!

What is a Eucharistic Missionary?

A Eucharistic Missionary is any Catholic who—inspired by an encounter with Christ in the Eucharist and fueled by the Bread of Life—allows God to use them as an instrument of his grace "for the life of the world."

These missionaries embrace their deepest identity as a member of the Body of Christ and commit to living a Eucharistic life with a heart for those who are most in need, those who are lost, and those who are the "least." They follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit to spread the Gospel by word and deed.

We want to invite you to commit to becoming a Eucharistic Missionary in a more formal way. This 5-part training will equip you to become the Eucharistic Missionary our Lord is inviting you to be. A natural follow-up to our Jesus and the Eucharist study, this training is designed to be completed in a weekly small-group setting. That being said, it can certainly be completed individually. Each training module is informative and inspiring -- complete with Eucharistic Missionary formation, testimonies, discussion questions, and a weekly practice. The time has come for us to go forth. Will you answer the call?

Beginning May 18th, we are inviting individuals and parish groups to begin formation to become a Eucharistic Missionary and be commissioned on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. We want you to join this group.

The Eucharist draws us into Jesus' act of self-oblation. More than just statically receiving the incarnate Logos, we enter into the very dynamic of his self-giving.

Pope Benedict XVI

The Eucharist is essential for us: it is Christ who wishes to enter our lives and fill us with his grace.

Pope FRancis

An evangelizing community knows that the Lord has taken the initiative, he has loved us first (cf. 1 Jn 4:19), and therefore we can move forward, boldly take the initiative, go out to others, seek those who have fallen away, stand at the crossroads and welcome the outcast.

POPE FRANCIS, EVANGELII GAUDIUM NO. 24
