Knights Korner Embracing Eucharistic Revival

TheUSCCB has initiated a three-year National Eucharistic Revival in dioceses throughout the United States. This began on The Feast of Corpus Christi, June 19, 2022 with the start of a year of diocesan revival, followed by a year of parish revival. It ends with a National Eucharistic Congress in July 2024.

The purpose of the National Eucharistic Revival is to help address the finding of a recent Pew survey that showed 70% of Catholics don’t believe in the true presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.

The Knights of Columbus Connecticut State Council is embracing Eucharistic Revival efforts. One way is supporting Eucharistic Processions throughout the state and another way is increasing the use of the Holy Hour program. To this end the State Council plans to host three Family Holy Hours in the state, one in each of the three dioceses.

The first will be Thursday, November 17, 2022 at 6PM at the Corpus Christi Parish, St Joseph Church, 99 Jackson St, Willimantic, CT. A reflection on the true presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist will be provided by Father Larry Barile. Participants in the Holy Hour can deepen their connection to Jesus through experience and catechesis.

The sacraments are ways that we can connect with and encounter Jesus Christ therefore deepening our relationship with Him. The Eucharist is the “source and summit” of the Christian life (CCC 1324). Adoring the Eucharist is a great way to connect with Jesus.
