Eucharistic Pilgrimage

In honor of America’s 250th year, the 2026 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage will carry the theme One Nation Under God. One Nation Under God is not a slogan—it’s an invitation to realign our lives, communities, and country under the sovereignty of Christ. It’s a call to build unity through prayer, and to let Jesus, present in the Eucharist, renew and heal the heart of our country, one soul at a time. You’re invited to join, in person or in spirit, and offer prayers and sacrifices for the renewal of America. Learn more at the official pilgrimage website eucharisticpilgrimage.org.
