Today!

The National Eucharistic Pilgrimage arrives at the Basilica of St. Andrew tomorrow, June 2!

Bishop Knestout will join us as we will celebrate with a Eucharistic Procession followed by Mass.

Why a Eucharistic Pilgrimage this year?

In honor of America’s 250th year, the 2026 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage will carry the theme One Nation Under God as an invitation to realign our lives, communities, and country under the sovereignty of Christ. It’s a call to build unity through prayer, and to let Jesus, present in the Eucharist, renew and heal the heart of our country, one soul at a time.

The pilgrimage began over Memorial Day weekend in St. Augustine, Florida. The route will continue up the Eastern Seaboard through most of the 13 original colonies, reaching as far north as New Hampshire and Maine. Stops will be made in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, our country’s very first Catholic diocese, as well as the Archdiocese of Boston to visit significant national historical sites. The pilgrimage concludes over the 4th of July weekend in Philadelphia, in honor of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Our time with Jesus in the Eucharist is invaluable.

You may come at the time you want even if you don’t register. We prefer you do, to keep a list and make sure someone is for sure attending at all times.

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers, including our Blessed Mother Mary!

May each mother be blessed for giving life to her children, nurturing her family, and leading her family to holiness.

For those grieving the loss of a mother, may you be comforted by the faith they taught you and the loving care they showed you.

Cross Catholic Outreach has very little overhead, and the vast majority of funds raised go directly to the projects helping the poorest of the poor around the world. To learn more about Cross Catholic Outreach, please visit CrossCatholic.org/outreach.

After serving the Roanoke community for 47 years, the Madonna House will close its doors this July. The mission of this lay Catholic community is to do “little things exceedingly well for the love of God,” including praying, listening, and helping those who come to them.

Though the women at the house will be reassigned to new areas, the impact of the Madonna House will live on in the hearts of those touched by its mission.
