Eucharistic Congress

Jubilee Year Pilgrimage

“Hope does not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us”
— Rom 5:1-2.5

In this Jubilee year, we are invited to be pilgrims of hope. We hope for his Divine Mercy, we hope in the Resurrection from the dead, we hope in the gift of the Holy Spirit to make us saints and send us forth on mission. And Hope does not disappoint.

7 Nights of Worship, 11 miles of Eucharistic Procession, 168 hours of Eucharistic Adoration.

This year, we’re doing things a little bit differently, so let’s paint the picture for you - it’s the Jubilee year, the octave of Easter, Divine Mercy Sunday and the Canonization of Carlo Acutis. To enter in this extraordinary time of grace more fully, we need a whole week.

Starting Easter Monday, April 21st, we’ll have special events of adoration, confession, praise, inspiration, and community each night for 7 nights at 7 different churches throughout the city.

Afterwards, we’ll go forth in a Eucharistic procession* to the next Church, bearing images of the Divine Mercy and Carlo Acutis. Throughout the night and until the next event, we’ll have Eucharistic adoration available (sign up for a slot!).

Our week will culminate with the celebration of Holy Mass and Divine Mercy Sunday and the Canonization of Carlo Acutis at St. Francis in Cambridge, but see the schedule for the itinerary and all the details!

*processions pending approval of permits from the City of Boston, the City of Cambridge, and the Town of Brookline.

Pending license approvals by the City of Boston, City of Cambridge, and Town of Brookline.
