LA helps close National Eucharistic Revival with a call to ‘be bold for Jesus’
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 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 picture-perfect, balmy Southern California summer day.
The Mass, together with the procession that followed, marked the official end of the month-long 2025 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage, which traveled more than 3,000 miles across ten U.S. states from Indianapolis to LA and served as the national revival’s final act.
