All are invited to join Bishop Earl K. Fernandes and the perpetual pilgrims from the National Eucharistic Procession for a week of Eucharistic Revival June 24-30, as they travel through the Diocese of Columbus. Be sure to register today, the local Masses and events are filling up quickly!
There are four routes traveling across the country beginning May 17. Our route is called the Seton Route which beings in Connecticut and will process to the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis, July 17 – 21. The pilgrims will visit holy sites, embrace the sacraments daily, and publicly proclaim Christ’s Real Presence in the Eucharist as they accompany him to the National Eucharistic Congress at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Fr. Roger Landry the chaplain at Columbia University will be leading the Seton Route which is comprised of two priests, one brother, one seminarian, and five young adults. The Daughters of Mary, Mother of Healing Love will also travel with the Seton Route. On Wednesday June 26, Fr. Landry will celebrate the 25th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood with the Mass at Seton Parish. Join us for this special night to honor him and his vocation! Tune in at 8am Friday May 17, to hear to Fr. Landry on the St. Gabriel Cafe as he talks about the pilgrimage.
The Diocese of Columbus is on the route named after St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first American-born saint to be canonized by the Catholic Church. A convert to Catholicism, the young mother and widow was drawn to the Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton opened the first free Catholic school for girls in America in 1810. Her work laid the foundation for what is now the parochial school system. A relic of Mother Seton from The Museum of Catholic Art and History will be on display at the pilgrimage locations.
