On May 19 four groups of pilgrims embarked on a two-month journey totaling more than 6,500 combined miles through cities, along highways, across bridges, in boats, over mountain ranges and through rural towns. The groups are processing along four pilgrimage routes from four corners of the country: north, south, east and west, to converge at the 10th National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis July 17-20. (A pilgrimage is a prayerful journey to a holy place.) The path of the eastern pilgrimage route – the St. Elizabeth Anne Seton Route (Seton Route) – will come through the Archdiocese of Cincinnati July 1 – 8.
