National Eucharistic Pilgrimage at the Shrine

National Eucharistic Pilgrimage at the Shrine

Welcome, Pilgrims!

What joy! On Saturday, May 25 the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage will make its first stop in Manhattan at St. Frances Cabrini Shrine. It is expected to arrive here at about 1:30pm and to depart at 3:00pm en route to Central Park and points beyond. Please join us in greeting them… and walk with them as a witness to the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament!

This 1,100 mile walking pilgrimage begins in New Haven on May 21 and will end in Indianapolis at the National Eucharistic Congress in mid-July. Six laypeople and a priest will travel the entire route. You are welcome to join in for a day, an hour, or even a city block as the procession makes its way across the country.
