Eucharistic Adoration – Holy Hour
The Knights of Columbus encourage deep personal encounters with Christ through Eucharistic Adoration in the form of Holy Hours and Eucharistic Processions. As Catholics, we believe in the Real Presence: that Jesus Christ is truly present – body, blood, soul, and divinity – in the Eucharist. As such, we are compelled to grow in our devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist and to share His presence with the world.
“The Eucharist is the source and summit in the life of a Knight. The more we devote ourselves to the Eucharist, the more we will understand what it means to be a Knight.”
– Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly
“So you could not keep watch with me for one hour?”
– Matthew 26:40
We encourage you to spend an hour with Our Lord in personal prayer, meditation, or simply visiting Jesus Christ

Become a Knight of the Eucharist
Dear Brother Knight,
As Catholics and as Knights, the Eucharist is the “source and summit of the Christian life” – in all that we do, the root of our strength. When we receive our Lord in Holy Communion, we are fed, then sent forth to be Christ’s emissaries to those we encounter — in our homes and neighborhoods, at work and in our greater communities.
As you know, the bishops of the United States have invited all U.S. Catholics to participate in a National Eucharistic Revival. It is a call to renew – or perhaps even spark for the first time – each Catholic’s understanding of and devotion to the Eucharist. As Knights, we should be at the forefront of responding to this call.
I personally challenge you to find ways to participate in this revival individually, as well as in community with your council or state council. This new flyer lists several practical ways you can answer this call over the coming weeks and months. I ask that you prayerfully consider what you can undertake. For those of you with families, how can you lead them on this journey as well?
Now is an excellent moment to become, more and more, “Knights of the Eucharist.” So, let us heed this invitation to nurture a deeper love of Our Lord in the Eucharist among every member of the Church, beginning in our own hearts.
Thank you for joining me and our brother Knights in supporting and participating in the National Eucharistic Revival.
Vivat Jesus!
Patrick E. Kelly
