National Eucharistic Pilgrimage concludes with Corpus Christi Mass in LA
The 2025 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage completed its 3,300-mile journey across the western United States on Sunday, having traversed 10 states, stopping in 20 dioceses and encountering thousands of enthusiastic parishioners.
The trek started May 18 in Indianapolis, the site of the 10th National Eucharistic Congress in 2024, and concluded 35 days later at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles. The pilgrimage was an outgrowth of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) three-year Eucharistic revival designed to promote belief in and devotion to the Eucharist among Catholics.
“We’ve had a wonderful reception, and the pilgrimage has borne much good fruit,” remarked Jason Shanks, president of the National Eucharistic Congress (NEC). “The pilgrims who have turned out have been in good spirits.”
