August 2023 Bulletin EVENTS AND INITIATIVES
Dear Friend,
We are in the second year of the National Eucharistic Revival (June 2023–June 2024). It’s a time when we are all encouraged to celebrate the Eucharist. The upcoming events and initiatives throughout the archdiocese are opportunities for you to continue to learn about the importance of the Eucharist and about God’s care for each of us.
Click here for more information about the National Eucharistic Revival. You can also visit our webpage for more information about the Eucharistic Revival in the Archdiocese of New York. This bulletin also includes a variety of events that celebrate the Eucharist.
Yours in Christ,
Msgr. Joseph P. LaMorte Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia
I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.
