One of the largest EUCHARISTIC PILGRIMAGES in history will be leaving California and processing with the Blessed Sacrament through many cities on their way to the 10th National Eucharistic Congress. The Congress will open with a major procession, welcoming pilgrims from all four corners of the U.S. who have carried Jesus to this destination in Indianapolis.
