Coming to Chicago: National Eucharistic Pilgrimage

Coming to Chicago: National Eucharistic Pilgrimage, June 26 – June 30, 2024

The National Eucharistic Revival is a three-year, grassroots initiative of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to assist Catholics in coming to a fuller understanding and appreciation of the meaning of the Eucharist in the life of the Church. The aim is to proclaim that the celebration of the Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life, to assist Catholics to encounter the Risen Lord in the Eucharist, and to deepen their discipleship in sharing His work of redeeming the world, won on the cross.

The Revival will culminate in a pilgrimage across the country to Indianapolis for the Eucharistic Congress in July 2024. The Archdiocese of Chicago, on the Marian Route of the pilgrimage, will host pilgrims and has organized special events and Eucharistic celebrations in archdiocesan parishes and locations from June 26 to 30, 2024.
