The theme of this year’s rally will be “Mother Mary and the Eucharistic Revival.” Father Nathan Cromly will be the keynote speaker. Bishop Golka will celebrate Mass after the recitation of the Rosary. The rally is sponsored by the Diocese of Colorado Springs and the St. Thomas Aquinas Society.

FRANKTOWN. Who is Geof Kirsch, and how did he come to tell his testimony that began with the simple but profound words, “I’m Geof, and I’m an alcoholic”?

INDIANAPOLIS. If there was a common thread running through the talks given during the National Eucharistic Congress July 17-21, it was that the massive gathering and the events leading up to it were meant to have a lasting impact on parishes and dioceses back home.

I honestly don’t know how to describe the 10th National Eucharistic Congress, which both sadly and joyously came to conclusion in Indianapolis on July 21. Thus far, my efforts to find words all tend toward the inadequate, and the best I can do for the moment include “transformative,” “paradigm-shifting,” “unifying,” “unceasingly joyful,” “community-focused,” “celebratory,” “repentant,” “reconciliatory,” “full of unconditional love, presence, and mission.”  And with those, I’m just getting warmed up.  I left Indianapolis sad that it was over, but at the same time absolutely overjoyed at the wonderful experience Jesus allowed us all to share, and to carry forward. My heart has been dramatically changed by our Lord, yet again.
