The pilgrimage will consist of four cross-country eucharistic processions, collectively traversing the entire continental United States over two months. The pilgrimage will begin during the feast of Pentecost, May 17–19, 2024, from four origin points: San Francisco in the west; Bemidji, Minnesota, from the north; New Haven, Connecticut, from the east; and Brownsville, Texas, from the south. Each route of the pilgrimage has a specific patron saint who holds a special significance to the regions the pilgrims will be passing through. Along the way, the pilgrims will make stops in major U.S. cities, churches, Catholic colleges, and holy sites. Parishes along the routes will host Mass, adoration, devotions, praise and worship, lectures on the Eucharist, and more. Major solemn eucharistic processions will occur on Sundays and smaller processions from parishes will occur during the week. All events will be free and open to the public. The four pilgrimage processions will ultimately converge in Indianapolis on July 16, 2024, to participate in the National Eucharistic Congress. Though everyone is invited to join the pilgrimage, four dozen full-time pilgrims from each corner of the U.S. will make the entire journey. -Catholic News Agency |
