Eucharistic Pilgrimage Overnight Adoration
The National Eucharistic Procession will make its way through the Diocese of Richmond this June! This incredible opportunity for prayer will bring Catholics together to praise Jesus in adoration as well as provide a chance for us to pray for our nation on the occasion of our 250th anniversary.
On June 3rd and 4th there are chances to pray at Sacred Heart, Saint Benedict, and Holy Rosary. Specifically, on June 3, following the 5:30pm Mass (6:15pm) one of the Perpetual Pilgrims will be at Saint Benedict Catholic Church to present on their experience along the Cabrini route and how they have encountered Jesus along the way. The presentation will be followed by Overnight Adoration. All are welcomed and encouraged to participate!
Please consider joining the procession through the streets of Richmond on the morning of June 4th.
Additionally, while we keep all of the pilgrims in prayer, each parish has been assigned a particular pilgrim for whom we can pray. We have been asked to pray - Marcel Ferrer - leading up to his time in our Diocese.
