National Eucharistic Pilgrimage
The National Eucharistic Pilgrimage is an initiative of the Eucharistic Revival that seeks to take Jesus to the world on foot across the entire nation. Four routes begin with kickoff events on Pentecost, May 19, 2024. Each route will walk with Jesus across the country for approximately two months. All four groups will meet in Indianapolis on July 16 to attend the National Eucharistic Congress. The routes will cover 6,500 miles, 27 states, and 65 dioceses. We are blessed that the Juan Diego route, originating in Brownsville, Texas, will pass through the Archdiocese of Louisville from July 4 – 9. There will be a number of opportunities to interact with the pilgrims while they are here through prayer and fellowship. A schedule of events can be found at eucharisticpilgrimage.org. We are particularly in need of volunteers to host the pilgrims overnight for one or two nights. Hosts must be have Safe Environment training and be willing to host 2 or more young adults age 19-29.
