Why a year of the eucharist?On January 9, 2022, the Diocese of Paterson will inaugurate a Year of the Eucharist. The purpose of this year is to promote a renewed appreciation, understanding, and devotion of the Eucharist. This will be achieved using various catechetical, liturgical, and pastoral components on the diocesan and parish level. The highlight of the Year of the Eucharist will be the Diocesan Eucharistic Congress which will be held the weekend of September 23-25. The keynote speaker will be Archbishop Rino Fisichella, the President of the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization.
