Community Eucharistic Events

Deepen your understanding and devotion to the Eucharist through these enriching community gatherings. Our local Catholic community offers various opportunities to explore the Real Presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. Whether you're seeking theological insight, prayerful adoration, or fellowship with other believers, these events provide meaningful pathways to encounter Jesus in the Eucharist.

These events are independently organized by local parishes and ministries, separate from the Acutis Initiative. Each gathering offers a unique approach to Eucharistic formation and devotion. We encourage you to explore these opportunities and connect directly with the event organizers for specific details, registration requirements, or any questions you may have.

Closer to Christ Speaker Series

Stations of the Cross Radio is hosting a young adult speaker series! Join the young adult (20s, 30s, 40s) for an inspiring evening on Wednesday, October 28th, at 7 PM, with Father Rob Contarin.

The Eucharist as Food for the Journey

Discover how the Blessed Sacrament nourishes and strengthens us on our spiritual pilgrimage, offering guidance and grace for every step of life's path.

Bring St. Carlo Acutis's Eucharistic Miracles display to your parish!

Sponsored by the Morning Star Family Holy Hour, you can bring the Eucharistic Miracles display to your parish. This is the display that St. Carlo Acutis spent years researching and building on his website. He also debuted the exhibit shortly before he passed. Before St. Carlo Acutis's research, there was not just one location all the information was stored. He had to call on the individual parishes were the miracles happened to record the details. Now we can learn about them all at www.miracolieucaristici.org

This display highlights many of the Eucharistic miracles that have happened around the world and over the centuries.

A 1st Class Relic of St. Carlo Acutis is also available for veneration with the display!

Contact Mary Cygan at mary.jp.cygan@gmail.com or 716-790-3785 to book the display for your parish!

Host the INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION: MIRACLES OF THE EUCHARIST ACROSS THE WORLD at your parish

Created by Saint Carlo Acutis

Make plans to share this free exhibit with your parish. The mystery of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist can be challenging to fully embrace as human beings. “I believe; help my unbelief!” Mark 9:24.

The exhibit has 36 panels (24 inches by 36 inches) describing Eucharistic miracles spanning the globe available to be exhibited in your parish at no cost. We will set it up and set it down in your parish hall or church. Along with the exhibit, we will bring the 1st Class Relic of St. Carlo Acutis for you to share and bless your parish.

Make plans for 2027.
