“Behold, I am with you always.” — Matthew 28:20

Real Presence Ministries exists to invite souls into a deeper encounter with Jesus Christ, truly present in the Most Holy Eucharist. Through prayer, formation, and service, we help individuals and communities rediscover the transforming power of the Real Presence of Christ and the call to live as missionary disciples in the world today.
What began as a simple effort to share reflections and teachings has grown into a broader outreach — bringing people together in prayer, study, and encounter. Whether through parish events, podcasts, or retreats, Real Presence Ministries helps others discover that the love of God is not distant or abstract — it is real, present, and alive.
Real Presence Ministries is a nonprofit Catholic ministry dedicated to awakening hearts to the living reality of Jesus Christ—truly present in the Eucharist, in His Word, in the Church, and in the world.

  • Encounter & Conversion – We lead others to personal, transformative encounter with Christ through Word, Sacrament, and community. (John 6:51; Luke 24:30–31)
  • Formation & Discipleship – We provide catechesis, retreats, and resources that deepen faith and understanding of the Church’s Eucharistic life. (Matthew 28:19–20)
  • Pilgrimage & Mission – We create opportunities to journey to holy places, experiencing the global presence of Christ and His Church. (Hebrews 11:13–16)
  • Beauty & Truth in Media – We use podcasting, video, and digital content to proclaim Christ’s presence with excellence, reverence, and clarity. (Philippians 4:8)
