Diocese of Memphis
Eucharistic Revival

Jesus is inviting you to go deeper. Draw close to him. Jesus Christ invites us to return to the source and summit of our faith—his Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist.

Parish Year of the
National Eucharistic Revival

Beginning on Sunday, June 11, 2023, on the Feast of Corpus Christi, the second phase of the National Eucharistic Revival 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 our Lord truly present in the Holy Eucharist. 

The Challenge
We are challenging each parish during the Parish Year to do four initiatives or one per quarter between Corpus Christi Sunday (June 11, 2023) and the National Eucharistic Congress (July 17, 2024, in Indianapolis, Ind.). The first initiative is a Eucharistic Procession on Corpus Christi Sunday, June 11, which is required of every parish. The other three initiatives are up to Pastors and parish leadership team to decide.  

Parish Guidebook
The Office of Evangelization and Faith Formation along with the Office of Communications, Office of Divine Worship and the Diocesan Steering Committee for the National Eucharistic Revival compiled a Parish Guidebook to help parish leaders plan for the upcoming “Parish Year of the National Eucharistic Revival.” In this guidebook, you will find background information about the National Eucharistic Revival as well as resources supporting your parish efforts in reinvigorating devotion to our Lord’s Presence in the Eucharist.
