Beginning in January, the Eucharistic Revival initiative is hosting a series of “BREAD Talks” in the diocese’s five regional deaneries, each at a different brewery. At each of the events, modeled after the popular Ted Talks, local speakers will share brief testimonies — their “eucharistic love stories.” Following their sharing, a main speaker will give a longer talk, about 20-30 minutes, on a eucharistic theme. These are in-person-only events. Come join us for these free, faith-filled gatherings

Jesus desires to heal. renew and unify the Church and the world. How will He do it? By uniting us once again around the source and summit of our faith: The Holy Eucharist. To learn more, click on the image on the right.
