St. Louis is the final stop on one of the four routes of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage, the Junipero Serra Route. Beginning in California, these pilgrims will travel with our Eucharistic Lord over 2,200 miles, crossing the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains on foot! While in St. Louis on July 5–6, 2024, the pilgrims will participate in a service activity and Eucharistic Adoration. You're welcome to join them! More information to come!
