Knights of the Eucharist!
| Brother Knights, As a fraternity of Catholic gentlemen, there is nothing more important to us than the Holy Eucharist. It is spoken of frequently as “the source and summit of the Christian life” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1324). For this specific reason, our bishops in the United States launched a National Eucharist Revival, a three-year initiative, last June — and the Knights of Columbus is offering our full and whole-hearted support. There are a number of ways our councils can support this effort — from the level of your parishes and personal adoration time all the way to the National Eucharistic Congress in 2024. Here now, I wish to share some valuable resources to help foster your participation in this important effort. First, the Eucharistic Revival Executive Committee has developed a newsletter titled Heart of the Revival that provides excellent resources and updates about the revival. Simply click on this link and scroll down to the subscription sign-up to get regular updates. Second, the Supreme Council has developed several resources that are not only inspirational but provide practical guides for implementing eucharistic processions. ● National Eucharistic Revival homepage: eucharisticrevival.org ● Knights of Columbus resources: kofc.org/eucharist We are indeed “Knights of the Eucharist,” and if you have not already done so, I encourage all state and local councils to speak with your pastors and bishops to inquire how you may assist with the Eucharistic Revival in your parishes and dioceses. May our Lord bless you and your family this Lenten season. Patrick E. Kelly Supreme Knight |
