The Catholic University of America is proud to join the National Eucharistic Revival called for by the U.S. Bishops. Throughout campus, in our chapels, gathering places, and exhibit spaces, we look forward to highlighting the unique importance of the Eucharist in the life of the Church. In the 2023-2024 school year, in particular, the university will focus on the Eucharist as the “source and summit of the Christian life” and participate in the National Eucharistic Congress in July 2024.

“There have been so many seeds of grace, mercy, forgiveness, etc. through the presence of Christ just there quietly, silently, mysteriously inviting the faithful to come and be with Him, to adore him, to receive His grace.”

— Fr. Aquinas Guilbeau, University Chaplain
