“It is absolutely true…
…Jesus and his Mother often choose children and give them important
tasks for the life of the Church and of humanity.
The Redeemer of humanity seems to share with them his concern
for others: for parents, for other boys and girls.”
Saint John Paul II
Our Beginning!
In 2003 Pope John Paul II declared the Year of the Rosary
The Children of the Eucharist founders, Harold Marthaler, Terry & Connie Schneider, and Maureen Wong,
were inspired by Saint John Paul II’s declaration in the Year of the Rosary,
devotion to Jesus, truly Present in the Most Blessed Sacrament and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
We visited our Archdiocesan Office to request a significant Eucharistic, Rosary, and Marian event for
our Catholic school children throughout the Archdiocese, gathering our children and youth
before Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
The first Children’s Eucharistic Holy Hour was celebrated on October 7, 2003,
the Feast of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary.
They said, “They will never come.”
But they did!
3,300 of our Catholic Students from our Archdiocese filled our Cathedral.

TEACH OUR CHILDREN HOW TO SAY “I’M SORRY JESUS”
LET US TEACH REPARATION, REPARATION FROM THE
THREE EUCHARISTIC APPARITIONS WITH
IMPORTANT MESSAGES FROM THE ANGEL OF PEACE
Some wonder what the messages of the Angel of Peace and Our Lady of Fatima has to do with the Eucharistic Revival for our Catholic school children, DREs, families, etc. The Rosary and Entrustment to the Immaculate Heart of Mary guides our children, youth, families, and world inward to Jesus, truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
“To Jesus through Mary,” Saint Louis De Montfort.
In 1916, the Queen of Heaven, our Blessed Mother, sent her Angel of Peace as a Tutor of Love to teach her three young shepherds, the importance of the Holy Eucharist, preparing them for her coming apparitions.
*LET’S UNITE!
Gather our students and families in prayer to ignite the flame of faith in their hearts.
Gather them wherever possible before the Blessed Sacrament.
Pray prayers of Eucharistic Reparation and Entrustment to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Most Holy Rosary!
We need the prayers of our children and youth to call upon the Holy Spirit to help open Heaven’s door
for Eucharistic Revival in our world’s children. We need their prayers.
Will you help?
