The southern arm of the Pilgrimage will depart from the tip of Texas in Brownsville on May 19th and wind around the Gulf of Mexico—an area chosen for its deep Catholic roots. It will arrive in New Orleans on Friday, June 7th. At 6:30 p.m. on June 7th there will be a public Eucharistic Procession from the steps of Notre Dame Seminary and proceeding to St. Rita's Church on Lowerline Street. The procession will be followed by a time of Eucharistic Adoration with music provided by the Vigil Project and a reflection by one of the perpetual pilgrims. On Sunday, June 9th, there will be large Mass at St. Louis Cathedral at 9 a.m. followed by a Eucharistic Procession around Jackson square. Anyone who meets up with the Pilgrimage at any time along the route is considered to be part of the greater Eucharistic Caravan and will have the ability to receive a plenary indulgence for partiicpation in the pilgrimage. Every Catholic in America is invited and encouraged to be a part of the Pilgrimage in this way!

Thank you to everyone who donated to the Northshore Food Bank. St. Benedict Catholic Church collected 1,176 pounds of food for local residences in need.

You will find a book in the back of the church to enroll your mother, godmother, and grandmothers (living or deceased) to be remembered at Masses on Mother’s Day weekend, May 11/12. This is an excellent way to remember your loved ones on this special day.
