National Eucharistic Pilgrimage to visit San Angelo, Abilene
SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — As the three-year National Eucharistic Revival in the United States comes to a close this summer, the revival's multi-state pilgrimage is slated to journey through Abilene and San Angelo on June 7 and June 8.
According to the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Angelo, the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage set out on the 'St. Katherine Drexel Route' in Indianapolis, the site of 2024's National Eucharistic Congress, with a course charted through ten states as it carves a path to its final destination in Los Angeles. The pilgrimage is being traveled by 'perpetual pilgrims,' individuals who are walking the entire route, and includes opportunities for people to join them at events along the way.
The pilgrimage is planned to traverse the Diocese of San Angelo from Saturday, June 7, to Tuesday, June 10.
The schedule of local events will begin on June 7 with a Mass for the Pentecost Vigil held in the Abilene Convention Center at 4 p.m. Following the vigil, a Eucharistic procession will travel through downtown Abilene.
What to do in San Angelo this weekend: June 6 through June 8
The perpetual pilgrims will make their way to San Angelo by Sunday, June 8, when the public may join in a recitation of the Stations of the Cross at the Christ the King Retreat Center at 11 a.m., followed by a meet and greet luncheon.
A Eucharistic procession will travel from the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts to the Cathedral Church of the Sacred Heart beginning at 3:30 p.m. The cathedral will then host a Mass for Pentecost at 6 p.m., which will be followed by a meet-and-greet sandwich dinner.
On Tuesday, June 10, the perpetual pilgrims will journey to St. Joseph Church in Fort Stockton for a Votive Mass for the Most Holy Eucharist at 11 a.m. A Holy Hour will be held after the Mass.
