The National Eucharistic Revival is an unprecedented grassroots movement to renew the Church in America. But we can’t renew the wider Church without renewing our parishes first! So how can Catholics work together locally to inspire joyful, creative participation in the Revival?

Please join Catholic.Church the platform with information from National and other parishes from around the USA. Everyone can join this platform.

Pope Francis has called for all Catholics to unite in prayer with him and the bishops of the world as he consecrates Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of our Blessed Mother. 

A prayer for Ukraine

Loving God,
We pray for the people of Ukraine,
for all those suffering or afraid,
that you will be close to them and protect them.

We pray for world leaders,
for compassion, strength and wisdom to guide their choices.

We pray for the world
that in this moment of crisis,
we may reach out in solidarity
to our brothers and sisters in need.

May we walk in your ways
so that peace and justice
become a reality for the people of Ukraine
and for all the world.

Amen.
