NORTH KINGSTOWN | PROVIDENCE | WARREN — From December 5-7, the diocesan Eucharistic Revival will host a Eucharistic Advent Mission offered by Father David Mary Engo, a Franciscan friar and national preacher. This one-night mission will be offered at different parishes in the diocese, with the same presentation offered at each night’s Holy Hour. The presentations will be held on Monday, Dec. 5, at 7 p.m. - St. Pius V Parish, Providence; Tuesday, Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. - St. Mary of the Bay Parish, Warren; and Wednesday, Dec. 7 at 7 p.m. - St. Francis de Sales Parish, North Kingstown.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops launched the National Eucharistic Revival, a movement to restore understanding and devotion to this great mystery in the United States. The National Eucharistic Congress will be the first one in the United States in almost 50 years. It aims to draw, by way of pilgrimage, more than 80,000 Catholics into an event of preparation, equipping the faithful as “Eucharistic missionaries” to go out to the existential and physical margins of society emboldened with the flame of divine charity to be the hands, feet, and heart of Christ in the world.
