Eucharistic Revival
St. Robert Parish is participating in the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) call to have a movement of “Eucharistic Revival” across the nation. The mission of the Revival is “to renew the Church by enkindling a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.” We are joining countless bishops, dioceses, parishes, and apostolates to be healed, converted, formed, and unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist — and sent out in mission “for the life of the world.”
Our local Archdiocese of Milwaukee Revival page is a great resource for events in our area. Enjoy this inspiring video with footage from the June Source & Summit Eucharistic Procession in Milwaukee and this powerful National Eucharistic Congress Highlights video.

Walk With One
During this third year of the National Eucharistic Revival, Catholics are being invited to go on Eucharistic Mission and help others come to know Jesus, truly present in the Holy Eucharist. You can access an amazing amount of content on the Art of Accompaniment right here.
Encounter Jesus in the Eucharist at St. Robert
Jesus in the Eucharist is the answer to every restless longing of the human heart. We encourage you to encounter His love during Eucharistic Adoration at St. Robert – overnight every first Saturday of the month, the second Thursday evening of the month at Ephphatha, or every Wednesday evening at Cor Jesu.
CORPUS CHRISTI ART EXHIBIT
St. Robert Parish hosted a Corpus Christi Art Exhibit as part of the Eucharistic Revival. Parishioners submitted their original compositions to display in the back of church. In addition to the artwork and written displays, one short video was also created, The Living Bread, which you can view here. Thank you to all the participating artists in our parish!
Parish Lenten Mission “The Eucharist: Come Find What You Seek“
Our parish hosted a Eucharistic mission February 16 – 18, 2024 entitled “The Eucharist: Come Find What You Seek.” This three-day event involved speakers, prayer opportunities, family friendly and young adult presentations, food, and fellowship. We were blessed to have speakers from the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia Congregation in Nashville, TN, as well as Fr. John LoCoco of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. See below for some photos!
PRESENTATION DESCRIPTIONS
The Transforming Power of the Eucharist
In Matthew 5:48, Jesus says, “Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect.” How does Christ make possible what seems impossible? Through His real presence in the Eucharist, Christ transform us. He wants to make us like Him and make our lives Eucharistic so we can be perfect and reflect His love to all we meet. (Presented by Sr. Maria Caeli)
Praying as a Family: a workshop for parents and children of all ages
Prayer nurtures the life of the family. It opens hearts, melts away resentments, fosters gratitude, and becomes a fount of grace, peace, and joy for the entire family. This talk will be an aid for families who desire to grow in their lives of prayer and directs families step-by-step in beginning to pray together. (Presented by Sr. Anna Christi and Sr. Maria Caeli)
Deepening the Divine Dialogue: Praying the Sacrifice of the Mass
As Woody Allen once said, “90% of life is just showing up!” But taken as advice for our spiritual lives, this is probably the worst advice possible. How often as Catholics do we find ourselves just going through the motions, checking the boxes, “Mass? Check. Confession? Check.” Wasn’t I made for something more? In fact, yes, you were! Come discover the transformative power of praying and participating in the sacrifice of the Mass by understanding what it means to worship and not merely pray, what it means to make an act of thanksgiving, and what it means to pray as a member of one, holy, Catholic, and apostolic Church. (Presented by Fr. John LoCoco)
Jesus in the Eucharist Study
St. Robert Parish participated in the National Eucharistic Revival in the fall of 2023 by hosting Jesus and the Eucharist, a dynamic, 7-session study designed to help you connect with your fellow parishioners as you fall deeper in love with our Eucharistic Lord. Immerse yourself in the beauty of our faith, hear from some of the most brilliant voices in Catholicism, and explore the mystery of the Eucharist anew as a part of the National Eucharistic Revival.
This series features an impressive array of Catholic voices! Each session opens with an exhortation from a different bishop, includes teaching from prominent theologians and influential figures in the Church today, and highlights personal testimonies from everyday Catholics who have experienced the transformative power of Eucharistic love in their own lives.
Click here to access this study on FORMED. This video series, participant discussion handouts, and many, many other resources on the Eucharist are available at the National Eucharistic Revival website.
Encounter Jesus – Overnight Adoration at St. Robert
In conjunction with the National Eucharistic Revival, St. Robert Parish is offering monthly overnight adoration on Second Saturdays. Adoration will begin following 4:30pm Mass and will end before 8:30am Mass.
We need your help in this effort! We are looking for at least two adorers in each slot (ideally three) – please sign up here and spread the word. You can also submit prayer intentions to be shared with adorers here.
We hope you’ll join us in praying for the needs of our parish, our community, and our world by signing up to spend time with the Lord.
