June 9, 2024 | National Eucharistic Pilgrimage

Four groups of pilgrims departed May 18 from the corners of the United States to process with the Eucharist en route to the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis. The eastern route, named for Maryland’s own St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, passed through Maryland June 5th through 7th. Catholic Review Editor Christopher Gunty talked with two of the permanent pilgrims on the Seton Route, Zoe Dongas and Amayrani Higueldo, to talk about their inspiration to make the 65-day pilgrimage and their experiences along the way.
