The St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Route of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage will begin in New Haven, Connecticut, and will pass through the Diocese of Metuchen on May 27-28. During these two days, the Diocese of Metuchen will welcome the National Eucharistic ‘Perpetual Pilgrims’ as they process from the Cathedral of St. Francis of Assisi, to St. Peter the Apostle University and Community Parish, New Brunswick, and St. Augustine of Canterbury in Kendall Park. We encourage you to eat, pray, and walk with them as they witness to the world that Jesus is here, present in the most Blessed Sacrament, and that he accompanies us - all of us - on our pilgrimage in life. There will be three stops in the Diocese of Metuchen for the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage. Attendees must register for each stop at diometuchen.org/nep2024. Please select the Pilgrimage stop in the Diocese of Metuchen to Register.
