Strategic Pillars – 3 Hearing His Call

Eucharistic Revival is a three-year process initiated by the USCCB to invite the faithful to reflect upon the mystery and meaning of the sacrament of the Eucharist in our lives. The goal is to create a more Eucharistic Community devoted to loving and serving one another, and forming Disciples of Christ. As Catholics, we are both blessed and broken. His Real Presence in the Eucharistic can transform our hearts. Jesus left us this gift! In a world that is so hurried, we must all slow down, do a deep dive and reflect upon it.

The Diocese is also working on a plan for a series of “Know Him” Gatherings. These experiential evangelization events will help us all grow closer to Christ by learning about his life and the lessons He taught the world. We are working to create short but engaging events that include speakers, multimedia content, witness testimony and interactive activities for the “Know Him” series to be held at Christ Our Shepherd Center. The events are specifically designed for Diocesan and parish staff members, but will be open to public registration as well.

Our efforts will begin from the inside out, first offering formational and devotional opportunities for staff throughout 2023 culminating with a Eucharistic Congress in 2023. After that, we hope they are better prepared to help create a more Eucharistic Community; founding new and innovative ministries focused on re-connecting to the disenfranchised and creating experiential evangelization opportunities that interest and engage our young people. One-to-one personal invitations will be an important part of the process.

One-to-one personal invitations are also an important part of encouraging stewardship. Strategic hires including a Managing Director of Development and a Director of the Catholic Foundation will reinvigorate efforts surrounding planned giving, seminarian and clergy formation support, EITC funding and Bishop’s Circle participation.

It is also important to note the many opportunities Bishop Kulick has pursued to re-engage sectors of the faithful throughout the Diocese of Greensburg. Through pastoral visits and personal outreach.
