Eucharistic Revival

What is Eucharistic Revival?

The National Eucharistic Revival is an initiative sponsored by the Bishops of the United States. The Eucharistic Revival is a historic and important national movement to help the faithful fall in love with Jesus, especially in the Eucharist, and be inspired and equipped to share that love with others.

As part of the Eucharistic Revival in our parish we began a new devotional practice in the year 2024. On the First Friday each month there will be extended times of adoration in the St. Scholastica Chapel, starting at 9:00 AM on Friday and continuing through the night and concluding at 1:00 PM on Saturday. All are welcome to take part.

Regular Hours of Adoration

Monday through Friday 6:00 AM to Midnight (closed 8:00 to 9:00 AM for cleaning)
Saturday 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM
*A code to enter the chapel is required after 9:00 PM, please contact the office (918) 455-4451 for more information.

Dear Parishioners,

The National Eucharistic Pilgrimage “St. Katharine Drexel” Route (from Indianapolis to Los Angeles) that was announced last July at the National Eucharistic Congress will make a stop in our Diocese of Tulsa and Eastern Oklahoma on May 30-31, 2025, and it will be in place of the annual Corpus Christi procession that the Diocese offers each year.

There are several opportunities to be a part of the Pilgrimage. Because the Pilgrimage is not going through every state, fellow Catholics from other states are already calling the chancery for information about it! The most attended event is expected to be the 5.5 mile procession from TU at 4:00 pm on Friday, May 30 to Holy Family Cathedral, arriving about 8:00 pm. A festival will take place afterwards with food and drink, music and cultural dancing.

The Church of Saint Benedict would like to coordinate transportation for parishioners that would like to attend the procession only. This transportation includes: One Bus of 56 seats that would load and depart from Saint Benedict on Friday, May 30th, at approximately 2:15 PM and arrive at the University of Tulsa around 3:00 PM. The procession will leave from TU at 4:00 PM and travel to the Church of the Madalene and then Christ the King enroute to the final stop at Holy Family Cathedral by 8:00 PM. The entire route will be 5.5 miles long and is scheduled to take about 4 hours. The charter bus will then pick up parishioners at Holy Family Cathedral after 8:00 PM and return them to Saint Benedict by 9:00 PM. Round trip transportation costs will be $15 per person and can be paid on the day of the event.

Click here to sign up for bus transportation during the procession on May 30; $15 per person, $50 per family. RSVP by May 25th!!! First Come, First Serve! We only have one bus with 56 seats. Non-members of St. Benedict are welcome. We are offering transportation to other parishes such as St. Anne and St. Bernard.

*Please note: This Sign Up Genius does not include transportation for any of the festivities or adoration that follow the procession, but for the procession only. Carpooling should be arranged for those that are interested in attending the procession and the festivities that follow.

If you have additional questions about transportation, please contact Ryan Remmert at (918) 402-5406 or by email.

The Diocese has asked for our help! 450 dozen cookies or other finger food desserts (without wrappers) are needed. Cookies would need to be delivered to Church of St. Benedict on Thursday, May 29 or Friday, May 30 before Noon at the latest. We will deliver them to the Cathedral.

Please let us know if you can donate food and how many dozen here.

If you have additional questions about cookies or food items, please contact Viviana Suarez at 918-455-4451 ext. 223 or by email.

The National Eucharistic Pilgrimage is asking everyone to register. More information is on their website and additional details will be provided directly to those signed up.

Our Diocese website has more information that will be updated as available.

Thank you! This National Pilgrimage is one more opportunity to bring our fellow parishioners closer to Our Blessed Lord!
