EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — A national pilgrimage is making a stop in El Paso, and the El Paso Diocese will host two events associated with it this week.
The St. Katharine Drexel pilgrimage is traveling from Indianapolis to Los Angeles and making stops along the way, the El Paso Diocese said.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, 131 S. Zaragoza Road, will host a Mass and other events, starting at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, June 10.
Mass will be at 3 p.m., Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will be at 4:30 p.m., matachines dancers at 6:30 p.m., and a eucharistic procession to the Diocesan Pastoral Center will start at 7.
St. Francis of Assisi Church, 5750 Doniphan, will host a Mass at 7 a.m. on Wednesday, June 11. Eucharistic adoration will be at 8 a.m.
The 2025 pilgrimage includes visits to several significant spiritual sites, including the tomb of Archbishop Fulton Sheen, the Shrine of Blessed Stanley Rother, and sacred Native and Hispanic lands, culminating in a grand celebration on Corpus Christi weekend in Los Angeles, the Diocese said.
Canonized in 2000, St. Katharine Drexel was a tireless advocate for Native and African American
communities, the Diocese said.
She founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament and established over 100 schools and missions across the United States. Her legacy of service, unity, and eucharistic love inspires the path of this year’s pilgrimage, the Diocese said.
