The National Eucharistic Revival is an unprecedented grassroots movement to renew the Church. But we can’t renew the wider Church without renewing our parishes first! So how can we work together locally to inspire joyful, creative participation in the Revival?
Bishop Andrew Cozzens of Crookston, Minnesota, will tell us how in a special webinar on August 1, 2023, at 8 pm ET. He will explain how local Revival leaders, called Parish Point Persons, play a key role in spearheading this exciting movement at the parish level. He will also show how our national coordinators stand ready with all the resources Parish Point Persons need to answer Our Lord’s call.
As Chairman of the Bishops’ Advisory Group for the National Eucharistic Revival, Bishop Cozzens is a key leader within this movement. And he wants to help YOU ignite your parish communities with God’s own fire. The webinar is free and open to anyone who wants to attend, so please register now!

The ministry of Parish Point Persons will be instrumental in spreading the excitement of the Revival to your community—fanning sparks of Eucharistic faith into flame!
As a Parish Point Person, you will lead parish activities and initiatives in each of the four pillars of the Revival, creating fertile ground for the Holy Spirit to ignite Eucharistic faith in your community. Your primary resource for ideas, inspiration, and recommendations will be the upcoming Parish Year Playbook. This essential resource will be posted here in April.
The Leader’s Playbook is designed as a springboard to help leaders—including yourselves as Parish Point Persons for the Revival—brainstorm creative, effective, and practical initiatives that fit the unique character and needs of their community. This resource will have ideas, inspiration, and concrete steps you can take in your role as Parish Point Person as you work to ignite Eucharistic faith in your community.
Download NowWith the Year of Parish Revival beginning in June, it is important that every Parish Point Person has a good grasp of the Leader’s Playbook and how to use this resource in their ministry. Tune in to the recording of our recent webinar, where we shared the hope and heartbeat behind this important document, additional resources that are available to assist you in your ministry, and upcoming opportunities exclusively for Parish Point Persons.
While there is much to come, a key initiative within this Playbook will be Eucharistic Revival small groups. Small groups are a powerful way to see the fruit of the Revival at your parish! This 7-session study has been created specifically for the Year of Parish Revival and is provided to parishes free of charge, along with the training and support you need to be successful.
Your first priority as a Parish Point Person is to discuss with your Pastor whether to implement Eucharistic Revival small groups at your parish this fall or, alternatively, after the new year. Trainings were held live earlier this year for those implementing small groups in the fall (or just curious about the study and process).
If you anticipate a fall start date for your groups, please watch the training videos below for “Eucharistic Revival Small Group Planning”. This training addresses the steps you need to take now to prepare for fall small groups. For those parishes planning to host Eucharistic Revival small groups in the new year, this training will be held again in early fall.
The Revival Team is offering virtual Q&A sessions for Eucharistic Revival small group planning, which will answer all your questions after watching the pre-recorded training above. Parish Point Persons and their Core Teams are welcome to attend any of the following sessions. Choose the date and time that works best for you! Note that all sessions are listed in Eastern Standard Time.
Join us on June 27th at 8pm ET for an exclusive webinar for Parish Point Persons. We will gather to support one another on this journey, answer questions, and unveil a new platform created specifically for you to find community as you take on this vital role within the Eucharistic Revival!
