As Chairman of the National Eucharistic Congress, I am happy to offer my support for the Camino de California.
The Camino de California is an ambitious Eucharistic Pilgrimage that will visit all 21 historic missions throughout the state of California with the Blessed Sacrament this summer, beginning in the northern part of the state and then traveling southward. The Camino team will meet up with our 2025 Drexel Route pilgrims in San Diego and continue the remainder of the journey with them to Los Angeles.
Though the Camino de California is an independently organized effort, distinct from the National Eucharistic Congress and Pilgrimage, I am glad to see the development of another program that fosters Eucharistic encounters.

JOIN FOR A DAY, AN HOUR
OR THE FULL 2 WEEKS
Join us along the California Camino Real as we continue the life-changing experience and momentum from the 2024 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage. We will meet up in Southern California with the national pilgrims traveling in from Indianapolis, culminating June 22, 2025 in Los Angeles on the Feast of Corpus Christi.
Accompanying our Lord in the Eucharist, we will visit all 21 California Missions, including Works of Mercy, Jubilee and other 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 at the Cathedral in Los Angeles.
The Holy Spirit is building a Camino de California for the conversion of souls, one at a time, for His glory!
Be a part of this!
