National Eucharistic Revival

4/30/2023

Revival’s in the Air
AN EXCITING JOURNEY AHEAD
Our world is hurting. We all need healing, yet many of us are separated from the very source of our strength. Jesus Christ invites us to return to the source and summit of our faith—his Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist. Watch the video to learn more about the exciting journey ahead and how you can be a part of it!
I Have Called You by Name
Jesus needs each one of us to be His
hands and feet
throughout this Eucharistic Revival.


Click here for more information.​
From the Archdiocese of Chicago:
The Archdiocese of Chicago will host an archdiocesan-wide Mass and Eucharistic procession on Saturday, June 18 at Holy Name Cathedral to kick-off the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) National Eucharistic Revival. Cardinal Cupich has asked Bishop Robert Lombardo to preside over the 5:30 p.m. Mass and then lead an outdoor procession around the cathedral, given his membership on the advisory committee for the Revival. The Mass will be livestreamed at https://youtu.be/QP-TLDBOcEY.
"An understanding and experience of the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist is central to our beliefs as Catholic followers of Jesus Christ. At the Last Supper, Jesus said clearly after taking bread into his hands, ‘this is My Body’ and taking the chalice of wine, ‘this is My Blood’ then ‘do this in remembrance of me’. He asked us to ‘do this’ and we fulfill Jesus' desire when we participate in the Eucharist,” said Bishop Lombardo. “At this time in history, we need to focus on this central and essential teaching of Jesus because participation at the Eucharist and Mass has declined significantly. We revere and safeguard this ‘real presence’ of Jesus in a sacred place called a tabernacle. The faithful are encouraged to pray individually or in groups with the ‘real presence’ of Jesus in their midst."

The National Eucharistic Revival officially begins on Corpus Christi Sunday, June 19. The Revival is a three-year initiative sponsored by the USCCB to form, heal, convert, and unite the People of God through a renewed encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist and then to send them out to a hurting and hungry world. The Revival’s focus on formation and missionary discipleship begins at the grassroots level in individual parishes and dioceses along with other Catholic institutions: 
  • Year One is the Year of Diocesan Revival in which U.S. bishops respond to the Lord’s personal invitation and empower their priests and parish leaders to host events with a Eucharistic focus.
  • Year Two is planned as the Year of Parish Revival. Individual pastors will engage their staff and parishioners with community-specific activities and events to better understand and enter more deeply into the Paschal Mystery through the celebration of the Mass, and extended opportunities for Adoration and Reconciliation. 
  • ‍Year Three will be the Year of the National Eucharistic Congress and Missionary Sending and commences with a National Eucharistic Congress set to take place July 17-21, 2024, in Indianapolis. 
Bishop Lombardo, founder and director of Mission of Our Lady of the Angels (OLA) and founder and superior of the Franciscans of the Eucharist of Chicago religious order, will serve on the USCCB’s advisory board for the Revival. Sister Alicia Torres, a member of the Franciscans of the Eucharist of Chicago who serves at Mission OLA, is on the executive team for the Revival.
The USSCB has appointed a diverse group of diocesan and religious priests serving in (arch)dioceses around the U.S. who vary in ministerial experience, ethnicity and culture, to travel across the country to speak and inspire the Faithful as National Eucharistic Preachers. Four Archdiocese of Chicago priests will serve as preachers: Rev. Timothy Anastos, associate chaplain of the St. John Paul II Newman Center at the University of Illinois at Chicago; Rev. Connor Danstrom, director and chaplain of the St. John Paul II Newman Center at UIC; Rev. Manuel Dorantes, pastor of Saint Mary of the Lake and Our Lady of Lourdes Parish and strategic advisor to the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication; and Rev. Brian Welter, executive director of the Institute for Priestly Formation.
“The National Eucharistic Revival is certainly inspired by the Holy Spirit. It responds directly to the fact that more than 70 percent of Catholics do not believe in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Through the Revival, the Lord is inviting us to be part of a movement that is so hope-filled,” said Sr. Torres. “I can't imagine the fruit we will see in the days, years and even decades ahead if we are faithful to this invitation from the Lord through our bishops to allow ourselves to be healed, converted and renewed through our encounter and relationship with Jesus in the Eucharist, and from there sent out on mission for the life of the world.”

The Celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday

4/16/2023

 
Picture
April 16, 2023 at 3pm

Please join us at
Mater Christi Church
for Divine Mercy Sunday
with Holy Hour,
Eucharistic Adoration,
Individual Confessions,
and recitation of the
Divine Mercy Chaplet.
On the Second Sunday of Easter in the Year 2000, at the Mass for the Canonization of St. Faustina Kowalska, Pope John Paul II declared the Sunday after Easter be called “Divine Mercy Sunday.”

St. Faustina was a Polish nun who received visions from Jesus, including one of Jesus wearing a white garment with beams of red and white coming from His heart, which came to be known as the image of Divine Mercy.

In her diary, she wrote that He said:

“I want the Image to be solemnly blessed on the first Sunday after Easter, and I want it to be venerated publicly so that every soul may know about it…My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy.”

Divine Mercy Sunday focuses on the gift of mercy and love given through Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. As Pope John Paul II stated, “Divine Mercy reaches human Beings through the heart of Christ crucified.”

Music Lovers!

4/2/2023

 
Picture
Would you please help us fund the organ upgrade at Mater Christi Church?
Do you know why is music so important to the Catholic Church?
The musical tradition of the universal Church is a treasure of inestimable value, greater even than that of any other art. The main reason for this pre-eminence is that, as the sacred song is united with the words, it forms a necessary or integral part of the solemn liturgy.
Do you know we have an opportunity to install a newer donated organ to Mater Christi to replace our older organ that is in need of significant repairs?
As with many improvements we make in our parish, this work will require funding that was not part of our planned expenses.
If you love our music each weekend, please help us cover the cost of the installation by dropping a donation in the weekend collection or at our parish office.
Your continued generosity will be music to all of our ears!

Click here or scan the QR code to make a donation to the organ.
