National Eucharistic Pilgrimage - Parish Vitality and Mission

The Archdiocese of Chicago is proud to participate in the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage. Chicago's participation in the Pilgrimage will offer Catholics various opportunities to participate in the celebration of the Eucharist as the source and summit of the Christian life, to encounter the Risen Lord in the Eucharist, and to deepen their discipleship in sharing His work of redeeming the world, won on the cross. See the schedule below and plan to participate in as many events as you can.
