National Eucharistic Pilgrimage in New Orleans

The Archdiocese of New Orleans is on the Southern, "Juan Diego", pilgrimage route. We will welcome the pilgrims from June 7-9, 2024. There are three public events we are planning in the Archdiocese while the pilgrims are here:

• On Friday June 7th , beginning at 6:30 p.m., we will hold a public Eucharistic Procession from the steps of Notre Dame Seminary and proceeding to St. Rita's Church on Lowerline Street. The procession will be followed by a time of Eucharistic Adoration with music provided by the Vigil Project and a reflection by one of the perpetual pilgrims. Our intention is to make the sacrament of reconciliation available at this event.
• The CYO Young Adult Ministry is planning to host a "Theology on Tap" for young adults with the Perpetual Pilgrims on Saturday evening June 8th . This event will give the pilgrims a chance to meet our young adults and encourage them in their walk of faith. All are welcome to join us at 6:30 pm at St. Angela Merici Church in Metairie.
• I will offer the 9:00 a.m. Mass on Sunday, June 9th at St. Louis Cathedral followed by a Eucharistic Procession around Jackson Square. All are invited.
