Jesus and the Eucharist Series

Parishes across the United States hosted the Eucharistic Revival small-group series Jesus and the Eucharist. Here at Saint Nicholas and Saint William Parish, starting in 2023, we have had over 70 people experience the 7-session series which unveils the good news of Jesus Christ and God’s saving work in the Eucharist.  This is the first phase of of the Eucharistic Revival.  You can still experience this fantastic program at home or with friends.

HOME SMALL GROUP OR PERSONAL STUDY: You can still experience the Jesus and the Eucharist series that some have called pivotal for their faith journey. We invite all who have not been able to enjoy this inspiring program, or those who want to experience it again, to watch from home with your family, friends or even by yourself.  The seven sessions each include prayer, lessons (1 hour) and discussion time (1 hour) that can be watch as a beautiful act of prayer now, during Advent or even in our Lenten season.  You can view the video sessions and download the worksheets from this link.

The Camino de California is the state pilgrimage that started in June 2025 to visit all of the California Missions and meet up with the national pilgrimage that came all the way to California from Indiana.  Now with the success of that pilgrimage, a new pilgrimage has been planned for May 31 to June 7, 2026.  To learn more about this meaningful and beautiful experience, visit the homepage for the Camino de California.

Past Events of the Eucharistic Revival

Eucharistic Pilgrimage - May 19, 2024 in San francisco to Indiana in July

The 2024 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage with Jesus from four points across the US, traveled city by city, lighting hearts on fire along the way. Then, at the National Eucharistic Congress in Indiana in July 2024, the flames blazed together.  There were only four starting points for this pilgrimage, with the West Coast route, the St. Junipero Serra Route, starting in San Francisco. 

On Sunday, May 19, our parish joined this pilgrimage from the St. Mary of the Assumption Cathedral  and waked across the Golden Gate Bridge ending our portion of the Serra Route at in Marin.  There are "Perpetual Pilgrims" then journeyed all the way from California St. Mary's, over the Rocky Mountains, across the Great Plains and to Indiana for the National Eucharistic Congress, covering over 2,220 miles.  

The pilgrimage started with a Mass at St. Mary of the Assumption Cathedral with Archbishop Cordileone.  This mass featured the world-premiere of the Missa Pange Lingua, A Mass for Eucharistic Renaissance commissioned by the Archbishop from the Benedict XVI Institute's composer-in-residence Frank La Rocca.  Dr. Alfred Calabrese conducted the 20-voice Schola Benedictus XVI choir.  

DIOCESE of San JOse Eucharistic Congress Summer 2024

For the first time in 83 year, there was a Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis, Indiana from July 17 - 21, 2024 for laypeople, clergy and religious.  Since many were not be able to attend the National Eucharistic Conference, our diocese hosted a Congress on June 1, 2024 at Bellarmine Prep in San Jose.  

Camino De California 2025

From June 6 -22, 2025, pilgrims journeyed from the most northern mission in Sonoma all the way to San Diego before joining the 2025 National Eucharistic Revival Pilgrimage from Indiana at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels in Los Angeles.  Read about this experience here in Lidia Fiandeiro's bulletin reflection. 

Many from our parish joined the Camino de California for a day on the pilgrimage from Santa Clara University to Our Lady of Peace on Pentecost Sunday.
