2025 St. Katharine Drexel Route Revival is here. During the summer of 2024, an unprecedented National Eucharistic Pilgrimage moved from the four corners of the United States to Indianapolis, culminating in the 10th National Eucharistic Congress. Given the outpouring of stories involving our Eucharistic Lord's healing, conversion, unity, and peace along the 2024 pilgrimage routes, we have decided to keep the momentum going in 2025!
As the three-year National Eucharistic Revival in the United States draws to a close on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, we are excited to launch the St. Katharine Drexel Route from Indianapolis to Los Angeles and invite you to pray before the Blessed Sacrament along the way.
Daily Eucharistic Encounters
The 2025 Drexel Route opens with a Mass of Thanksgiving in Indianapolis on Sunday, May 18th. The team will travel with the Blessed Sacrament through parts of the Midwest before heading to Texas and along the states of the Southwestern United States. This year's pilgrimage route will include numerous opportunities to encounter Jesus, including daily Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, Eucharistic Processions, witness talks, and fellowship meals with the Perpetual Pilgrims.
The pilgrimage will visit the tomb of Venerable Servant of God Archbishop Fulton Sheen, the Shrine of Blessed Stanley Rother, and stop at several missions in Southern California. Another highlight of the journey is a stop at St. Michael Church near Window Rock, which is the capital of Navajo Nation. The St. Katharine Drexel route comes to an inspiring conclusion during Corpus Christi weekend in Los Angeles, where we will process with our Lord around the downtown Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels.

Patron of the Pilgrimage:
St. Katharine Drexel
St. Katharine Drexel came from a devout and wealthy family who used their material goods to serve those in need. After discerning a call to the religious life, she founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. This order was dedicated to serving the Indian American and African American populations.
By the time of her death in 1955, Mother Katharine had used the funds from her inheritance to build a vast network of 50 missions and over 60 schools, with 500 sisters teaching in them. She was canonized a saint in 2000 by Pope John Paul II.
St. Katharine Drexel, pray for us!
Engaging the Universal Church
The National Eucharistic Pilgrimage will engage the universality of the Church as the Perpetual Pilgrims travel with the Blessed Sacrament across the country, stopping at churches in both urban and rural areas. Priests will offer Mass in many languages, in different rites of the Church, and with various liturgical musical styles. Our pilgrims will serve along the route, bringing our Eucharistic Lord to the margins, including encountering those in nursing homes, food banks, and a federal prison.
