A Note from Pope Francis
“Behold, I make all things new”
From the Diocese of Camden
The Bishops of the United States are calling for a three-year grassroots revival of devotion and belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. They believe that God wants to see a movement of Catholics across the United States, healed, converted, formed, and unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist—and sent out in mission “for the life of the world.”
In the Diocese of Camden, over the course of the revival, lay leaders and parishioners will be able to participate in a variety of learning opportunities and spiritual enrichment events to help grow their understanding of the Eucharist where we will inherently come closer to Christ.
These three years will culminate in the first National Eucharistic Congress in the United States in almost fifty years. Almost a hundred thousand Catholics will join together in Indianapolis for a once-in-lifetime pilgrimage toward the “source and summit” of our Catholic faith.
