Pope John Paul II announced a Eucharistic Year starting in October of 2004 and ending in October of 2005. In proclaiming the Eucharistic year, the Holy Father shared:
"From the time of Pentecost when the People of the New Covenant 'began their pilgrimage toward the heavenly homeland, the Divine Sacrament continued to mark their days, filling them with faithful hope.' Thinking precisely of this, I wanted to dedicate the first encyclical of the new millennium to the Eucharist and I am happy now to announce a special 'Year of the Eucharist.'
