The goal of the Eucharistic Revival is to renew the Church by enkindling a living relationship with Lord Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. These three years will culminate in the first National Eucharistic Congress in the United States in almost fifty years. More than on hundred thousand Catholics will join together in Indianapolis for a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage toward the “source and summit” of our Catholic faith.
