THE YEAR OF EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL
The Diocese of Raleigh Eucharistic Congress kicks off a year of celebrations commemorating the 100th anniversary of the diocese in 2024.
In September 2023, the St. Michael the Archangel parish community began the Year of Eucharistic Revival to honor the Diocese of Raleigh's Centennial Year and deepen our understanding and devotion to the incredible gift of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. Our loving and merciful Jesus invites you to join us on this journey as we celebrate this year's Eucharistic Revival.
ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL PARISH EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL
In the Year of Eucharistic Revival at St. Michael, our parish family will be planning special events, exciting opportunities, and volunteer experiences to worship Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. Some examples include community-wide adoration processions, praise and worship events, and so much more! A calendar of events is available here: Eucharistic Revival Year Calendar of Events.
NATIONAL EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS
The National Eucharistic Revival is a movement to restore understanding and devotion to this great mystery here in the United States by helping us renew our worship of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.

EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL YEAR PRAYER
Lord Jesus Christ, you give us your flesh and blood for the life of the world, and you desire that all people come to the Supper of the Sacrifice of the Lamb.
Renew in your Church the truth, beauty, and goodness contained in the Most Blessed Eucharist.
Jesus living in the Eucharist, come and live in me.
Jesus healing in the Eucharist, come and heal me.
Jesus sacrificing yourself in the Eucharist, come and suffer in me.
Jesus rising in the Eucharist, come and rise to new life in me.
Jesus loving in the Eucharist, come and love in me.
Lord Jesus Christ, through the paschal mystery of your death and resurrection made present in every Holy Mass, pour out your healing love on your Church and on our world.
Grant that as we lift you up during this time of Eucharistic Revival, your Holy Spirit may draw all people to join us at this Banquet of Life.
You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of the Eucharist, Pray for us.
