What is Living the Eucharist?
Living the Eucharist is a parish-based renewal experience that fosters spiritual growth and discipleship by promoting full, conscious, and active participation in the Eucharist. Living the Eucharist can help adults, families, and teens in a parish grow in holiness and in the Church's mission as they come to know more profoundly the love of Christ in the Eucharist. Living the Eucharist runs during Lent for three years. The materials are available in English and Spanish. Parishioners take part in any of the following ways: by joining adult and teen small groups, engaging in family activities, and reading catechetical bulletin inserts. This Lenten participation heightens parishioner involvement in the Sunday Eucharist and inspires them to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ who carry out the Church's mission. Living the Eucharist is designed to revitalize parish life and evangelizing activity through meaningful and transforming encounters with Christ.
