Join the Diocese of Rockville Centre for a historic occasion as we celebrate our Eucharistic Congress on Pentecost Sunday, 2025 at St. Anthony’s High School.

Prepare your hearts by learning about the Eucharist, encountering Christ in Adoration, and joining in our Eucharistic Pilgrimages from May 31 – June 8.

Beginning on May 31, 2025, the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, two nine-day Eucharistic Pilgrimages will embark across Long Island, both culminating at St. Anthony’s High School on Sunday June 8, 2025

The Western Route will journey from St. Agnes Cathedral (Rockville Centre) through Nassau County, while the Eastern Route will journey from the Parish of Saint Therese of Lisieux (Montauk) through Suffolk County.

​The Holy Eucharist will be carried in procession across the Diocese through many of our towns, schools, hospitals, cemeteries, and parishes. During this pilgrimage, there will be opportunities for Eucharistic Adoration, the celebration of Mass, Eucharistic Catechesis, Praise and Worship, public processions, and other Eucharistic celebrations.

The People of God will be invited to walk with Jesus, truly present in the Holy Eucharist, pray in the pilgrim churches, and proclaim the Gospelto bystanders as Jesus passes through their towns.

The Diocese of Rockville Centre invites a dedicated group of young adults, ages 18 to 29, to apply to be Perpetual Pilgrims.
