Eucharistic Revival 2024
@ Stella Maris Family of Parishes
The Church in America is participating in a National Eucharistic Revival. The mission of the Revival is as follows: To renew the Church by enkindling a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. At the local level, within Stella Maris, we will offer a number of initiatives in 2024 to enkindle this living relationship in the lives of parishioners and friends.

Eucharistic Miracles exhibition
We will be hosting Bl. Carlo Acutis’ Eucharistic Miracles Exhibition from Feb. 16-Mar. 17, with panels split between the four churches. Travel from one of our parishes to the next to “catch them all!”
Want to know more about the exhibition? Visit the official website.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Exhibition
-
Yes. We will set up as many panels as possible within the churches/gathering spaces.
-
Due to space constraints and constant facility usage, we are unable to have all of the panels displayed in one location for the whole month. The best way to view the maximum number of panels will be visiting each church during a scheduled Mass/adoration/reconciliation time, or attending each of the Eucharistic Saints talks four consecutive Wednesday nights from Feb. 21-Mar. 13.
Eucharistic Saints
A Lenten Talk Series @ Stella Maris
Every saint loved the Eucharist, but some saints expressed a particular devotion to the Eucharist. This Lenten talk series will peer into the mystery of the Eucharist through the life of a saint and that saint’s devotion. Each talk will be followed by a time for Q & A with the speaker and a wine and cheese reception.
Save the dates. Each event will begin at 7pm.
