Background 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, they 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, the Pilgrimage has launched the St. Katharine Drexel Route and the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City is one of twenty dioceses participating from Indianapolis to Los Angeles.
All ages and walks of life are welcome to join in prayer before Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament as the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage travels across the country.
Please register in advance so we can plan accordingly for the expected number of people. All events are free! If you would like to participate in events in more than one diocese, be sure to also register using the link for the other diocese(s).

A Eucharistic procession is a public witness of the adoration of the holy Eucharist, conducted through public streets. A consecrated host – the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ – is placed within a monstrance. It is lifted and carried by a priest who leads the faithful in procession. Like a pilgrimage, a Eucharistic procession normally starts at one holy place and ends at another. This earthly journey reminds the Catholic faithful of their spiritual journey toward eternal life.
