includes a talk from the 2024 Eucharistic Congress, personal prayer time, Benediction, and Eucharistic blessing
Fr. Mike Schmitz
Father Schmitz highlighted the importance of the Eucharist, not merely as the Real Presence of Jesus, but as the culmination of His sacrificial love. He explained, “The presence of Jesus is not the point of the Mass. The Real Presence makes the sacrifice possible.”
Father Schmitz’s address was a call to deeper conversion, inviting the faithful to embrace repentance as a pathway to genuine revival and a more profound appreciation of the Eucharistic sacrifice.
