National Eucharistic Pilgrimage in the Diocese of St. Augustine

As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, a National Eucharistic Pilgrimage will begin in the nation’s oldest Catholic city, linking the earliest chapter of Catholic life in this land with a new generation of pilgrims carrying the Eucharist across the country.

The 2026 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage will begin Memorial Day weekend at the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche at Mission Nombre de Dios in St. Augustine before traveling north along the East Coast and concluding in Philadelphia near Independence Day.

“One Nation Under God” invites all the faithful, families, parishes, and neighbors to enter a sacred time of unity, healing, and hope. Together, we will walk with Our Lord in the Most Holy Eucharist—giving thanks for God’s unfailing presence and praying for our country, our Church, and our communities.

Come as a parish, a family, a ministry group, or on your own. Clergy, religious, lay faithful, youth and young adults, and those exploring the Catholic faith—all are invited to walk with Jesus, the Bread of Life.
