The 2025 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage is set to begin this May and will highlight the vibrant universality of our Church! As the Perpetual Pilgrims travel with the Blessed Sacrament across the country, making their way from Indianapolis to Los Angeles, they will stop at churches and communities in cities and rural areas. The National Eucharistic Pilgrimage will feature priests celebrating Mass in many languages, embracing various rites of the Church and diverse liturgical music styles.
In light of the Jubilee of Hope, our pilgrims will actively engage with communities along the route, bringing our Eucharistic Lord to the margins and those needing healing. Our pilgrims will also take time to serve those in need, including visits to nursing homes, food banks, and a federal prison. All Catholics are invited to partake in this transformative pilgrimage as we bring Jesus to our nation along the Drexel Route.
In April, we hosted a press conference for Media and Diocesan leaders, offering further information on the upcoming pilgrimage. Below, you can rewatch the presentation from Bishop Cozzens and the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage leadership team.
During the course of the Pilgrimage, we will be collecting and sharing photos that will be made available on a weekly basis in a public folder for media coverage of the event.
