Walk with Jesus. Pray for the nation. Follow the journey.
In honor of America’s 250th year, the 2026 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage will carry the theme One Nation Under God. One Nation Under God is not a slogan—it’s an invitation to realign our lives, communities, and country under the sovereignty of Christ. It’s a call to build unity through prayer, and to let Jesus, present in the Eucharist, renew and heal the heart of our country, one soul at a time. As pilgrims on this route, we walk with Christ so that His love might draw our nation back to Him. You’re invited to continue offering prayers and sacrifices for the renewal of America.
The pilgrimage began over Memorial Day weekend in St. Augustine, Florida, where the first Mass in our country was celebrated at the Our Lady of La Leche Shrine at Mission de Nombres. The route continued up the Eastern Seaboard through most of the 13 original colonies, reaching as far north as New Hampshire and Maine.
Stops were made in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, our country’s very first Catholic diocese, as well as the Archdiocese of Boston to visit significant national historical sites. The pilgrimage concluded over the 4th of July weekend in Philadelphia, in honor of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
