LA pilgrims hoping to experience true ‘revival’ at Eucharistic Congress
Levi León considers the Eucharist the reason he became a Catholic in the first place.
He grew up Protestant, but as a student at Whittier College, he remarked to a Catholic classmate that the Eucharist seemed to mean a lot.
“She responded, ‘Maybe one day you’ll experience it as well,’ ” León said.
That led him down a path of faith discovery that made him realize that Catholicism was the true way.
“I fell in love with Jesus in the Eucharist,” said León, today a parishioner at St. Mary of the Assumption in Whittier, and a member of its Eucharistic Revival committee.
