Introducing
"Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist"
This powerful series explores the truth and beauty of Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist, from its origins in Sacred Scripture, to its profound role in the life of the Church and her members.
All are invited to participate as we grow together in our knowledge and love of Jesus in the Eucharist.
WHY A REVIVAL?
In late 2019, a Pew Study indicated what many had long suspected. Few Catholics, approximately 30 percent, fully believe in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. This stark reality inspired us to action. More than an event or a program, Divine Mercy Parish envisioned a true Revival to rediscover the Source and Summit of our Faith through a deep commitment of prayer, pilgrimage, and worship on the part of our entire church and school community.
Along with the Bishops of the United States, we are calling for a REVIVAL OF DEVOTION AND BELIEF IN THE REAL PRESENCE OF JESUS IN THE EUCHARIST. We believe that God wants to see a movement of Catholics across North Kenner and the entire Archdiocese of New Orleans, healed, converted, formed, and unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist—and sent out on mission “for the life of the world.”
“Source and Summit:
A Eucharistic Revival”
Designed with everyone in mind, no matter the age or stage in the Faith.
Join us, and discover the Source and Summit of all that you are searching for in life.
These powerful words from the prophet of Ezekiel cut to the heart of what it means to experience a revival. To “revive” means “to return to life.” For many, the initial Eucharistic amazement that is experienced when receiving the Blessed Sacrament for the first time has become dim. Joy-filled expectation has been replaced with routine. For many, a living and personal relationship with Jesus seems impossible. For others, such a relationship has become dulled or suffocated by other concerns.
Whether you’re a Catholic with a Eucharistic devotion spanning 50 years, someone who has drifted away from the faith, or a person who has never stepped foot in a Catholic Church, you are welcome here. This revival is a time to discover or renew a relationship with Jesus by encountering Him in the Blessed Sacrament, where He is always present and always seeking an encounter with you. We hope you join us on this journey.
