THE FIRST PHASE
Year of Diocesan Revival
June 19, 2022 – June 11, 2023
Launched on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, or Corpus Christi,
the
first year invites diocesan staff, bishops, and priests to what Pope Francis has described as “a renewed personal encounter with Jesus
Christ”—particularly the transforming power and mercy of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. Each Diocese will offer events that encourage the faithful
to
grow in their understanding and devotion to Christ in the Eucharist, complemented by online formation and resources that will raise up
Eucharistic
Missionaries at all levels of the Church!
CONFERENCES ON THE HOLY EUCHARIST
Anamnesis Conferences for Priests
The diocese, in association with the Alpha Institute, plans to
have conferences via Zoom for priests of the diocese. These conferences are titled “Anamnesis”, which means “remembrance”. It is an opportunity for
us to fall in love with the bread of life again. The conferences will be done via Zoom in four sessions. The speakers for these conferences are: Mar
Joseph Pamplany, Fr. Thomas Mannoramparambil, Fr. Tom Olikkarott.

The team in the first phase is specifically praying for Priests who have served and are now serving in our parishes and missions.
