JOIN FOR A DAY, AN HOUR
OR THE FULL 10 DAYS
Join us along the California Camino Real as we continue the life-changing experience and momentum from the 2024 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage and the 2025 first annual California Eucharistic Pilgrimage.
Accompanying our Lord in the Eucharist, we will again visit all 21 California Missions, including Works of Mercy and Jubilee Year of St. Francis pilgrimage events along the way. Prayer intentions will be gathered at each stop and carried with us for a special ceremony during our closing mass in San Diego.
The Holy Spirit is building a Camino de California for the conversion of souls, one at a time, for His glory!
