Catholic communities across the country are invited to be part of the historic movement to set hearts ablaze along the four distinct routes that make up the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage. An updated map is now available that highlights the special events that correspond to the cities and dioceses punctuating each leg of this unprecedented journey converging at the 10th National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis on July 16, 2024.
All public events associated with the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage are free and invite the participation of the faithful from every corner of the country. Anyone who wishes to travel with our Eucharistic Lord as a day pilgrim or celebrate our shared faith with the Perpetual Pilgrims at milestones along the way may register online with their respective diocese.
Click the locations on the map to learn more about the events taking place on the four routes, or visit our About page for a more in-depth overview of this historic journey.
Media are invited to attend two special info sessions that will offer more information on the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage and the Perpetual Pilgrims serving on each route. These sessions will take place on February 29 at 12:00 pm EST and March 21 at 2:00 pm EST. Members of the media must register for each event separately.
