About - Real Presence Coalition

The Real Presence Coalition (RPC) is an informal group of influential Catholics working to restore belief in Jesus Christ’s Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist.
The U.S. Bishops initiated a National Eucharistic Revival campaign in 2021 in response to a Pew Research poll revealing that a majority of Catholics do not believe in the Real Presence.
The bishops have stated that the Revival is a “grassroots movement of Catholics” with the goal to “restore and renew the Catholic Church’s devotion to the Eucharist.”
RPC applaud the bishops’ effort to ignite the hearts of the faithful with their three year plan.
Moving forward, we believe a specific action plan will need to be developed to sustain the Revival’s momentum and achieve measurable improvements in Catholics’ belief in the Real Presence.
In the spirit of Synodality, the RPC believes the laity can provide valuable input to bishops in their mission.
As such, RPC’s initial effort will be to conduct a survey of U.S. lay Catholics to better understand the root causes that have contributed to the loss of faith.
RPC has engaged a professional polling firm to assist in the development of the survey and analyze the results.
Survey responses are completely confidential – participants are not required to provide their name, email address or phone number.
Coalition members are responsible for helping to promote the survey via email and social media.
