What is CEDDO? 

 

CEDDO is the acronym for the Confraternity of Eucharistic Devotion, Diocese of Oakland.

It is a confraternity that is actively responding to the Church’s summons to the new evangelization by:

● Offering resources and materials for those wishing to begin or extend Eucharistic adoration in their parishes.
● Offering resources to any parish wishing to initiate perpetual Eucharistic adoration.
● Promoting diocesan Eucharistic events such as Corpus Christi celebrations, Eucharistic conferences and congresses.

CEDDO Mission Statement:

To deepen in the members of this Confraternity,
and the Diocese of Oakland,
reverence and love for the Holy Eucharist,
by fostering prayer and spiritual growth in
individuals and families, and encouraging, organizing, and participating in various Eucharistic devotions in parishes/deaneries,
which may include, but are not limited to,
Eucharistic processions, Forty Hours Devotion and exposition of the Holy Eucharist,
in collaboration with other organizations.

 

 

The primary focus of CEDDO members is to pray, especially in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, for an increase in good and holy vocations to the priesthood and religious life in our diocese. 

Please pray for the spiritual, mental, and physical well-being of our clergy, seminarians, and religious. 
For their piety, purity, and protection. 
And, for their fidelity to the Magisterium.
