Parish Point Person Webinar featuring Tim Glemkowski
At November's exclusive Parish Point Person Webinar for the National Eucharistic Revival, we heard from Tim Glemkowski, the Executive Director of the National Eucharistic Congress! Tim focused on helping re-ground us with the “why” of the National Eucharistic Revival, and how God has called each one of us to a unique role in this movement.
Our special guest in October was Lisa Brenninkmeyer, the creator of Walking with Purpose. Together, we explored the difficulties we face in leading people to Christ in a post-Christian culture, and Lisa shared 5 steps we can take to better evangelize our own communities.

Sr. Alicia Torres has been serving as the Managing Editor for the Heart of the Revival Newsletter and is a member of the Revival Executive Team. On this month's exclusive Parish Point Person Webinar for the National Eucharistic Revival, Sr. Alicia shares about the first invitation of the Year of Parish Revival, Reinvigorating Worship.
Curious how to connect with fellow leaders? In June, Kris Frank and Matt Meeks hosted a webinar to walk through our exclusive group on Catholic.Church, created specifically for Parish Point Persons!
Resources for the Four Invitations
Reinvigorating Worship
Many Catholics come to church out of obligation, not out of authentic desire and love for the liturgy. But the Mass is not a box to check—it is a powerful supernatural gift! Parish Point Persons will help bring renewed emphasis to the celebration of the liturgy, encouraging parishioners to fall back in love with the ancient beauty of these holy rites.
After reading the recommendations for reinvigorating worship in the Leader’s Playbook, discuss and discern with your pastor what your parish could do to answer this invitation.
Consider increasing use of incense or incorporating theologically potent Eucharistic hymns into upcoming liturgies. Free sheet music for the hymns that won the Eucharistic Revival Musical Competition is available here.
Personal Encounters
Jesus desires a deep, personal relationship with each individual who visits your pews. But it is impossible to even begin that relationship unless they first meet him personally! This invitation is about creating space for Jesus to speak—either for the first time or simply in a new way.
In this Year of Parish Revival, you are invited to host monthly Encounter Nights, featuring Eucharistic adoration and the Sacrament of Confession. Clickto download the Encounter Nights Guide—your detailed roadmap to plan and lead transformative evenings of worship that resonate deeply with your congregation.
Robust Formation
A recent Pew study found that a shocking number of Catholics simply don’t know what the Church teaches about the Eucharist. This is an invitation to change that!
Start by instituting Eucharistic small groups at your parish. These groups gather regularly to have their faith nourished by kerygmatic Eucharistic teaching and to support one another in their faith. This intimate style of learning will enable parishioners to form tighter connections and grow together in the safety of a group they know. Below you will find the training, resources, and content you need to be successful in this initiative.
Send Missionaries
If we aren’t eager to share the Good News, have we really internalized it? This invitation is all about outreach—sharing what we have received and allowing ourselves to act as vessels for God’s love and mercy.
A living faith will overflow into your community. As a Parish Point Person, we encourage you to invite your parish to recommit to serving the poor in new ways. Also, the upcoming “Invite One Back” campaign will be an exciting opportunity to bring lapsed brothers and sisters home. More details will be released soon.
Jesus and the Eucharist Small Group Study
Jesus and the Eucharist is a 7-session study created specifically for the Year of Parish Revival. This will be provided to parishes free of charge, along with the training and support you need to be successful in implementing this important initiative.
