Ahead of the bishops' spring assembly, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in Washington has appointed Father Jorge Torres, a priest of the Diocese of Orlando, Florida, to help implement a planned multiyear National Eucharistic Revival.

Msgr. Jeffrey D. Burrill, USCCB general secretary, announced the appointment of Father Torres as a specialist for the Secretariat for Evangelization and Catechesis June 7 and thanked Orlando Bishop John G. Noonan for releasing the priest for service to the USCCB.

In his new role, effective July 12, Father Torres "joins the conference as the Secretariat for Evangelization and Catechesis begins the promotion of a National Eucharistic Revival to renew the church by enkindling a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist," the news release said.

This eucharistic initiative is part of the USCCB's 2021-2024 strategic plan, "Created Anew by the Body and Blood of Christ: Source of Our Healing and Hope." Planning for the National Eucharistic Revival has been taking place for over a year.

Shouldn’t that be “Ban Communion in the hand?”

If you can find it, read “Get Us Out of Here” by Maria Simma. You will NEVER receive Communion in your hand after you read it.

It should be, absolutely.

Don’t forget though—we are now living in Bizarro World.
