One of the largest Eucharistic pilgrimages in history will take place across the continential United States from May 17 to July 16.
For the 23 young adults leading the 2-month long pilgrimage, their reason for doing it is clear:
KAI WEISS
Pilgrim
The Eucharist. I think that's very obvious but, I think it will just be such an amazing opportunity to spend everyday, every minute basically over two months with Jesus in the Eucharist.
AMAYRANI HIGUELDO
Pilgrim
I get to spend two whole months with our Eucharistic Lord, walking across the U.S.
Four different routes—from the North, East, South and West—will cover thousands of miles to bring the Eucharist through countless American towns, with the hope that it may bring necessary healing to the United States.
AMAYRANI HIGUELDO
Pilgrim
Nowadays, there's so many people struggling with so many different things and I just think the world needs His love and with His love there comes healing.
KAI WEISS
Pilgrim
I also realize that there are many problems in this country currently and that this country is struggling with. And so I think this will just be such a blessing for America.
Jesus being carried throughout this country, he will sanctify this land in ways that we may not even consider.
Along the routes, the pilgrims will also host evening Eucharistic adorations and service projects in local communities. Each route will finish in Indianapolis for the first National Eucharistic Congress in 83 years, focused on the renewal of the Church in America.
