A second National Eucharistic Pilgrimage next year will begin in Indianapolis and end in Los Angeles, the lead organizer of the 10th National Eucharistic Congress announced July 21 at the event’s conclusion.

“At this point, we’re planning next spring a pilgrimage — just one — that will begin in Indianapolis and end in Los Angeles,” said Bishop Andrew Cozzens of Crookston, Minnesota, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis.

“Archbishop Gomez has already said that he would welcome all of you for Corpus Christi Sunday in Los Angeles in 2025,” added Cozzens to cheers and applause at the end of the Congress’ closing Mass with close to 50,000 people in Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium.

For Roman Catholics, Corpus Christ Sunday falls on June 22 next year.

Cozzens’ pilgrimage announcement came as he also announced plans to hold the next National Eucharistic Congress in 2033, marking the “year of redemption” — 2,000 years from the year tradition says Jesus Christ died and rose from the dead — or perhaps even sooner.

“We’ll keep discerning and we’ll let you know,” said Cozzens.

The decision to hold next year’s pilgrimage, Cozzens said, came from discussions among organizers to “continue to do the smaller things that we’ve done” during the National Eucharistic Revival launched by the U.S. bishops three years ago to encourage greater devotion and belief in the Eucharist among Catholics….
