The U.S. Catholic Church is facing an unprecedented crisis of faith. According to a 2019 Pew Research survey, the vast majority of U.S. Catholics no longer believe in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, a central tenet of our faith.

U.S. bishops responded by launching a three-year Eucharistic Revival campaign which includes a National Eucharistic Congress in July 2024. This is also the year for the conclusion of the Synod on Synodality in which Pope Francis stated that “the synodal Church is a Church of listening.”

It is in this spirit of synodality that the Real Presence Coalition has launched a survey to assist the bishops in understanding the root causes that have contributed to the loss of faith in the Real Presence.

We are inviting U.S. lay Catholics to take this survey. It should require approximately 5 minutes to complete. Your response is completely anonymous - the survey does not request your name, email, or phone number.

There is a limit of one survey submission per device to prevent an individual from making multiple submissions.

The final question of the survey allows you to make your top recommendation to the bishops on how to restore belief in the Real Presence.

Thanks in advance for your participation in this important initiative.
