Mission, Vision, and Timeline

Mission

To renew the Church by enkindling a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

Vision

To inspire a movement of Catholics across the United States who are healed, converted, formed, and unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist—and who are then sent out on mission “for the life of the world.”

June 2022 - June 2023

Year of Diocesan Revival

Launched on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, or Corpus Christi, the first year invites diocesan staff, bishops, and priests to what Pope Francis has described as “a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ”—particularly the transforming power and mercy of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. Each Diocese will offer events that encourage the faithful to grow in their understanding and devotion to Christ in the Eucharist, complemented by online formation and resources that will raise up Eucharistic Missionaries at all levels of the Church! Please join us in prayer for the renewal and healing of the United States as we answer this historic call to revival.

June 2023 - June 2024

Year of Parish Revival

The second phase will foster eucharistic devotion at the parish level, strengthening our liturgical life through eucharistic adoration, missions, resources, preaching, and organic movements of the Holy Spirit. These local efforts will help convert hearts and minds to fall more deeply in love with Jesus Christ, truly present in the Holy Eucharist.

National Eucharistic Congress

At this historic event, more than 80,000 Catholics of all ages will gather in Indianapolis to worship our Risen Lord in his humble disguise. The Holy Spirit will enkindle a missionary fire in the heart of our nation as we reconsecrate ourselves to the source and summit of our faith.

July 2024 - July 2025

National Year of Mission

From the Congress in 2024 through Pentecost of 2025, the entire American Church will be sent on mission to share the gift of our Eucharistic Lord with their local communities and beyond. Let the light shine forth!

2025 Jubilee Year

The Vatican has announced that 2025 will be a Jubilee Year with the motto Pilgrims of Hope. This year of special grace providentially coincides with the Revival’s national year of mission! Pope Francis believes the 2025 Jubilee will “contribute greatly to restoring a climate of hope and trust.”
