YEAR OF PARISH REVIVAL
June 11, 2023 – July 17, 2024
The Revival is now reaching the pews! This year is about fostering Eucharistic devotion at the parish level, strengthening our liturgical life through the faithful celebration of the mass, Eucharistic adoration, Eucharistic processions, missions, resources, preaching, and organic movements of the Holy Spirit.
One beautiful way to celebrate love and devotion for the Eucharist is in a creative event that is still Spiritual and Social. A painting event that brings the Body of Christ as a community together while celebrating each individual’s Love for Jesus and recognizing his true presence in the Eucharist.
“Divine Romance”
a Eucharistic Revival Paint Event
This Paint N Praise Event was affectionately named "Divine Romance”, celebrating Jesus' love for us and his call for each of us to love him.
"Divine Romance" Paint Event is a spiritual and social occasion.
As a spiritual event, it invites all to draw closer to Jesus’ heart, burning for love for each one of us. We focus on his true presence in the Blessed Sacrament in the image we paint. The painting itself is done in the form of a prayer and is also viewed a prayer similar to the style of iconography. Spiritual music is played and talks of miracles of the eucharist. It is suggested not required to say a nine-day novena leading to the event, to go to confession, and to spend an hour in front of the blessed sacrament. in the process of preparing for the event the parish is encouraged to pray for all attending and for the Holy Spirit to continue drawing our heart to the heart of Jesus through the Eucharist.
As a social event, it allows visiting and getting to know fellow parishioners and an opportunity to invite friends and family to your parish. It is a relaxed joyous creative atmosphere. Each parish is invited to provide any style of refreshments for the occasion ex. tea and cookies, wine and cheese, or a potluck or brunch. It’s an atmosphere to hear about eucharistic miracles and share about your faith. It also allows a chance to hear and learn about the Eucharistic Revival spreading across the country including the National Eucharistic Congress this 2024.
This event is designed for all age levels and abilities no skill is necessary as Molly Collins Spiritual Artist and Iconographer guides all to paint their own style of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament to take home in just 2 hrs. This event is $ 40.00 suggested donation 45.00 for longer distance or a group booking available.
The preparation required is.. the pastor's approval, a Date set, a deposit to reserve that date, advertising in the bulletin, and some posters that are provided and digital art provided for the parish’s website. Each parish has the freedom to provide anything extra to celebrate in their manner from coffee and donuts to wine & appetizers or potluck celebration for this event.
This event was inspired by the Holy Spirit where it began in Tennessee, it has spread to California and has taken place in San Diego dioceses. It is now booked in San Bernardino and Los Angeles, CA.
