Join Catholics from around the area to grow in faith together in the Eucharist. This one-day Eucharistic Revival was an inspiration of local Catholics who attended the National Eucharistic Congress in 2024 in Indianapolis. Drawing from their experience at that event, ASCEND Eucharistic Revival hopes to provide an opportunity for renewal for Catholics around the Pacific Northwest.
