effective with registration for the 2022-2023 formation year. Confirmation I
Preparation will begin in the 9th grade and Confirmation II will be completed in

Sacred Heart Church Schedule Changes
Renovations at Sacred Heart Church on Hillsborough Street (Raleigh) in July will necessitate the move of daily Mass and sacrament schedules for the period between July 5 and July 22 to Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral.
National Eucharistic Revival
The National Eucharistic Revival is a three-year initiative sponsored by the Bishops of the United States to inspire and prepare the People of God to be formed, healed, converted, united, and sent out to a hurting and hungry world through a renewed encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist – the source and summit of our Catholic faith. The Revival will officially begin in June 2022, and its milestone event will be a National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis, IN, from July 17-21, 2024. The National Eucharistic Revival and National Eucharistic Congress are a direct response to the Holy Father’s call for a “pastoral and missionary conversion which cannot leave things as they presently are” so that the Church in the United States might be “permanently in a state of mission” (Evangelii Gaudium, n. 25). This Eucharistic movement seeks to bring together clergy, religious, laity, apostolates, movements, and parish and diocesan leaders to spur momentum, collaboration, and lasting impact for the renewal of the Catholic Church in the U.S. over the next three years. Each year will have a strategic focus for formation and missionary discipleship.
