From urban areas to the suburbs to rural towns, the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage continues to bring many parts of the United States alive.
The pilgrimage even reached the cornfields of Nebraska, including five different towns of the Diocese of Lincoln, where the Bishop says it has left a lasting impact.

In the little towns and villages in my diocese, all the people are coming out, both Catholics and non-Catholics, to see what this is all about. So it's an opportunity to evangelize and to explain to those who are not Catholic what we're doing.
And just one state over, in Colorado, over 5,000 people gathered for the Eucharistic procession in downtown Denver—marking one of the city's largest processions in decades.
In Ohio, the Eucharist was processed on an old-fashioned steamboat. It reached several group locations as it traveled 30 miles through the Ohio River in the Diocese of Steubenville.
The pilgrimage is bringing the Eucharist to a total of 6,500 miles across the United States. But it is coming to a close as each of the four routes near Indianapolis where they will finish with the National Eucharistic Congress from July 17 to 21.
