Registration is now open for the 2026 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage: One Nation Under God, a historic spiritual journey taking place from Pentecost through Independence Day weekend as the nation marks its 250th anniversary. This is a continuation of the National Eucharistic Revival and the landmark Congress in 2024.

“In the past few years, we’ve witnessed a powerful renewal of Eucharistic faith across the country,” said Jason Shanks, President of the National Eucharistic Congress. “The National Eucharistic Pilgrimage is one of the most visible expressions of that renewal, as believers bring Jesus in the Eucharist out into our streets and communities and inviting people everywhere to encounter Him.”

In 2026, the pilgrimage will travel the Eastern Seaboard on the St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Route, named for the first United States citizen to be canonized a saint and known for her missionary service to immigrants and the poor. The journey will begin May 24 in St. Augustine, Florida, near the site where the first Catholic Mass in what is now the United States was celebrated. From there, a group of nine young adult Perpetual Pilgrims, accompanied by chaplains, will carry the Blessed Sacrament north through many of the original thirteen colonies, 18 dioceses, and two Eastern Rite eparchies.
