Onsite Presentation: The Eucharist and Social Regeneration

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened” (Matthew 11:28)

Our society is burdened and longing for regeneration. The Eucharist is where Christ is encountered, and communities are healed. Our society is ever changing, always looking for something new to satisfy a restless heart. Exploring the priestly witness of Blessed Michael McGivney and other spiritual movements in the Church over the last hundred years, the Christ in the Eucharist continually restores the restless spirit with truth and beauty which is ever ancient and ever new.
