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. All public events are highlighted in a special interactive map that corresponds 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 are welcome to journey with our Eucharistic Lord and celebrate our shared faith with the Perpetual Pilgrims at milestones along the way by registering 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.
In an effort to capture the experiences of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage for the universal Church to be brought into this special moment, a variety of photos sorted by route are available for media to access with limited restrictions.
On Wednesdays at 2:00 p.m. EDT, a panel of Perpetual Pilgrims will be available for a series of seven virtual press briefings to share their experiences from the week and field questions from the media. Advanced registration is required. *Please note that there will not be a press briefing on July 3.*
