‘Be bold for Jesus’: Eucharistic revival makes its grand finale in LA
The three-year National Eucharistic Revival closed in Los Angeles on Corpus Christi Sunday with a call to “become Eucharistic missionaries” and lead others back to the Catholic faith at a celebration scaled back due to unrest caused by recent immigration raids.
“The Eucharistic revival does not end today but continues in each one of us, you and me,” said Los Angeles Archbishop José H. Gomez in his homily at the June 22 Mass, which drew more than 3,000 people to the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels on a day of picture-perfect, balmy Southern California summer weather.
The Mass, together with the procession that followed, marked the official end of the Eucharistic revival’s month-long 2025 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage, which traveled more than 3,000 miles across 10 U.S. states from Indianapolis to LA and served as the national revival’s final act.
