Eucharistic Pilgrimage Kicks Off May 18-19 with Masses, Processions

Similar events are planned May 18-19, Pentecost weekend, at the pilgrimage’s other three launch points in Brownsville, Texas, New Haven, Connecticut, and in Northern Minnesota, as four groups pilgrims begin their eight-week journey. The routes’ 23 “perpetual pilgrims,” along with their priest chaplains and seven seminarians will accompany the Eucharist, exposed in a monstrance, as they travel — often on foot — across the United States.
