“The National Eucharistic Pilgrimage is happy to support the important mission of the Jubilee Year of Hope.  The focus of the 2025 St. Katharine Drexel Route is on hope and healing.  The route includes a Mass in the Diocese of Wichita offered for the victims of the January 29th plane crash and events in the areas most affected by the wildfires in Los Angeles.  Our pilgrims will serve along the route, bringing our Eucharistic Lord to the margins, including encountering those in nursing homes and food banks.  There will also be a blessing at the border and a stop at St. Michael Church near Window Rock, which is the capital of Navajo Nation.  The Diocese of Las Cruces is holding special National Eucharistic Pilgrimage events at their Cathedral in honor of the Jubilee Year of Hope for the anniversary of the founding of their Cathedral on June 11th.  The Archdiocese of Los Angeles is holding pilgrimage events at Mission Basilica San Buenaventura and the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, both of which are official sites you can gain a plenary indulgence during the Jubilee of Hope.”

National Shrines and Pilgrimage Sites in the U.S.

Formed in 1990 by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the National Association of Shrine and Pilgrimage Apostolate (NASPA) is an association of shrines that have been designated as national Catholic shrines or that have been designated diocesan shrines. Those not able to pilgrimage to Rome may also obtain a Jubilee Indulgence by making a pious pilgrimage to a sacred Jubilee site, including any national minor basilica, Marian sanctuary, or national sanctuary.
