10th National Eucharistic Congress
2024-08-09 22:00 (America/Chicago)
“The hand of the Lord feeds us. He answers all our needs.”
We who attended the National Eucharistic Revival were blessed to witness the most important event of our generation for the Church in the United States. About 60,000 Catholics from all over the USA gathered in Indianapolis around our Eucharistic Lord. We heard incredible speakers and we were united in prayer with priests, religious, bishops, and cardinals that together numbered in the thousands. It was truly an experience of our universal Church on a scale only surpassed by World Youth Day.
But as good as all those things were, the most important reason we journeyed across the country was to come together as a nation around our Eucharistic Lord. We witnessed the extraordinary power of Jesus in the Eucharist, right there in our midst! He fed us, consecrated us, and renewed us. For five days, Lucas Oil Stadium was the world’s largest wicker basket, filled to bursting with the Bread of Life.
This Eucharistic Congress was a deep and profound experience of renewal of our American Church. We witnessed hope for our Church with our own eyes. We were led in prayer to repent before Jesus in the Eucharist. We asked Jesus together for renewal on behalf of our nation.
We are blessed that the Lord Jesus chose us and called us to be witnesses to this defining event. But we have not been made privileged witnesses for our own mere personal benefit. We did not earn this. We did not receive this because we were special. Jesus individually chose us to come, because he also individually chose us to carry out these graces into the world. Like the wheat of the field that becomes the Bread of Life, we have been gathered, formed in fire, broken, blessed, and now given to the Church as missionaries.
The Catholic Church in America will be forever marked by this event. When future generations study the history of our Church, they will read and learn about this 10th National Eucharistic Congress. They will learn how the Church in our country discerned a call from the Holy Spirit for revival “through, with, and in” Jesus in the Eucharist. And it’s abundantly clear that this is only the beginning of a grand movement that will span our lifetimes. The 11th National Eucharistic Congress has been announced for 2033, the Year of Redemption. Another national Eucharistic procession has been announced for 2025, culminating in a gathering on Corpus Christi Sunday in Los Angeles. We thought we were seeing the end of a three year process, when in reality we were seeing the beginning of a lifelong revival of our Church.
We are extraordinarily blessed in the American Church with material, intellectual, and spiritual abundance. Other countries struggle with lack of wealth, lack of faith education, lack of organization, lack of priests, or lack of religious freedom. We do not face crises like these in the USA – or at least, not on the same order of magnitude. “To whom much is given, much will be required.” There is little doubt we have been given this abundance in order to combat the great evils of our time and the godlessness that oppresses so many in our country.
Now, Jesus has called upon our Church’s abundance. He has come into our midst and fed ten times the multitude he fed in the Gospels. Ten times the more, then, is our mandate to overflow.
The power of the Lord Jesus! To take simple bread and make it our salvation. To take human hands and make them his own. To take a sports stadium and make it holy ground. To take our ordinary lives and make us extraordinary missionaries of the Eucharist.
Dear family, now is the time of renewal for our Church. “The winter is past, the rains are over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth.” We are entering a springtime – and springtime is the season of planting seeds. Jesus calls us from the Eucharist, like a beacon of fire, to join him in a lifelong Eucharistic procession. The world is starving for God and we have the only nourishment here among us. He says in our midst: “Behold, I make all things new.” Will we carry the seeds of Eucharistic renewal out into our country?

Serviam 2025
2025-03-14 - 2025-03-16 | Delray Beach , Florida
We are thrilled to share an exciting update about the upcoming leadership gathering! After much prayer and reflection, we have officially named this event “Serviam 2025” with a special emphasis on Mary as our model.
The name Serviam (“I will serve”) may sound familiar, as it was the name of our 2020 Leadership Gathering. That event aimed to equip, encourage, and empower our leadership, and we witnessed incredible fruits from that weekend. Our hope is for Serviam to grow into a recurring program, offering our newly formed teams nourishment and inspiration tailored to the unique needs and challenges of the time. Each gathering will feature a fresh theme, with Serviam 2025 inviting us to explore Mary’s response to the angel’s call and reflect on how her “yes” inspires our leadership journey today.
Why Serviam?
We are bringing back the name Serviam to honor the legacy of the 2020 gathering while building something new. Each time Serviam is held, it will be shaped by the inspirations and needs of the moment. We hope this name becomes a source of anticipation, a call to serve, and a journey of leadership renewal for all who participate.
This weekend promises to be a time of spiritual renewal, thoughtful discussions, and deeper fellowship as we equip ourselves to serve the Lord and His mission through the Jesus Youth Movement. We are so excited to journey together at Serviam 2025! Let us prepare our hearts and minds for this special weekend, where we come together in the spirit of Mary and the disciples in the upper room to grow in faith, leadership, and mission.
