Des Plaines, Ill. (June 26, 2024) – The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe of the Archdiocese of Chicago welcomes the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage on Thursday, June 27th. The day will feature multicultural celebrations in multiple languages from noon to 9 p.m., inviting faithful of all ethnic backgrounds to participate. Hundreds of pilgrims are expected to gather at the Shrine for a day of Adoration to the Blessed Sacrament, joined by clergy members from the Archdiocese of Chicago, including two auxiliary bishops, the Most Reverend Jeffrey Grob and the Most Reverend Robert J. Lombardo.

The national pilgrimage is a two-month walking journey across the United States with four routes led by clergy and a small group of young adult Catholics converging at the 10th National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis on July 17, 2024. The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe is on the Marian Route. Pilgrims walking the Marian Route initiated their journey on foot on May 17 from Minnesota.

The national pilgrimage is part of the National Eucharistic Revival, a three-year, grassroots initiative of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to assist Catholics in coming to a fuller understanding and appreciation of the meaning of the Eucharist in the life of the Church, and that the celebration of the Eucharist is the source and summit of Christian life. The Revival has included religious education at the local and national levels.
