A SMALL GROUP SERIES
JESUS AND THE EUCHARIST
Materials for the Seven Sessions
Everything you need to run a successful small group series is below. Be sure to print the handouts for each session ahead of time. You are encouraged to download each video to a computer to be played back because that eliminates any chance of the glitches that can occur from Wi-Fi and Internet connection issues. Simply follow the “Instructions for Downloading the Videos.” Be sure to download well in advance, allowing time for the video file to finish downloading and making sure you can locate (typically in your “Downloads” folder) and playback the file from your computer. Alternatively, the videos can be played directly from the “View Video” links if you are completely confident in the Wi-Fi signal in the meeting place.

Eucharistic Revival Series
Jesus is Emmanuel, which means “God is with us.” Jesus came to be with us in order to save us. Again and again, Jesus comes to us in the Eucharist. Our faith comes alive as we understand better that Jesus gives us His Real Presence in the Eucharist.
Join Msgr. Joseph Hirsch, Director: Casa Hogar Juan Pablo II Orphanage, Lurin, Peru as he presents Jesus’ True Presence in the Eucharist.
We want to understand better the Gift of the Eucharist so that we can love Jesus more. Jesus gives us the greatest Gift – the Gift of Himself in the Eucharist again and again in a life-giving encounter. Jesus gives us Himself as food – He literally is the Bread of Life – supernatural bread that saves us, that spiritually nourishes and strengthens us with His grace. Through receiving the Eucharist, Jesus strengthens our identity as sons and daughters of God the Father.
Join Fr. Justin Kizewski, Faculty: St. Francis de Sales Seminary, Milwaukee as he presents Receiving and Adoring Jesus – Communion and Thanksgiving.
We need to take time to focus on spiritual realities. Through Jesus, grace, truth and life entered into the world. At Mass, Jesus continues to come to us in the Eucharist. In union with Jesus, we can offer all that we are and everything that we have been given in thanksgiving to the Father.
Join Msgr. Richard Gilles, Rector: Cathedral of St. Joseph the Workman, La Crosse as he presents Offering Ourselves with Jesus to the Father.
In the fullness of time, our Heavenly Father sent His Son, Jesus, to save us from our sins. Jesus gave us the Eucharist, as a memorial of His Passion and Death. When we receive the Eucharist, we literally receive Jesus Himself. The Eucharist is our solid foundation and highest point of union with God on earth.
Join Fr. Steven Weller, Chaplain: Assumption Middle and High School, Wisconsin Rapids as he presents The Eucharist as the ‘Source and Summit’ of the Church’s Life.
