With the end of the National Eucharistic Congress as the capstone of the three-year Eucharistic Renewal, the question follows: What comes next? The entire exercise initially originated as a response to results of a 2019 Pew survey that suggested a majority of Catholics do not understand what the Church teaches about the Eucharist. I am not sure that catechetical illiteracy has been remedied, but at least there was an effort to restore in parishes a greater sense of the Eucharist, primarily through Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Holy Hours, and the like.
That’s not to say that the approach was not without its critics. Commentators in places like the National Catholic Reporter and the Jesuit America often lamented the adoration-focus of the Renewal process. They wanted instead to see an amplified focus on “social justice,” arguing that the Eucharist should drive us toward such social and community reform.
