About
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, for the celebration of our local Diocesan Eucharistic Congress.
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 Gospel to bystanders as Jesus passes through their towns.
Perpetual Pilgrims
The Diocese of Rockville Centre is inviting a dedicated group of young adults, ages 18 to 29, to apply to be Perpetual Pilgrims. These Perpetual Pilgrims will make the entire nine-day journey with the Lord in the Eucharist across the Diocese from May 31st – June 7th 2025, along with priest chaplains and an official pilgrimage team.
These pilgrims will represent the many young people from across Long Island who are on fire with Eucharistic love and missionary fervor. Applicants should be in good physical condition, capable of walking long distances, and committed to Christ, the teachings of his Church, and ongoing intellectual and spiritual formation.
Applications for Perpetual Pilgrims are now open and will close on February 2, 2025.
