When pilgrims make their way from San Francisco to Los Angeles this summer for the National Eucharistic Congress, they will stop at Thomas Aquinas College, California, for a weekend of Masses, Adoration, and talks from prominent speakers.

In the runup to the Congress, Catholics from California and beyond will embark on the Camino de California Pilgrimage, spending two and a half weeks traveling to all 21 mission churches and 15 official Jubilee pilgrimage sites in the state. Led by the Eucharist on every step of the journey from Sonoma to San Diego, they will participate in Mass and Adoration every day, perform corporal and spiritual Works of Mercy, and attend special talks and events.

Thomas Aquinas College has the honor of hosting a Weekend Eucharistic Congress as part of the pilgrimage on June 14-15. Attendees will gather in Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel for Mass and Adoration, with music provided by the College’s California Choir. The event will also feature five keynote speakers, including Catholic Answers’ Tim Staples, National Eucharistic Congress CEO Jason Shanks, Sr. Miriam, O.P., Sr. Regina Marie, O.C.D., and Rev. Nathan Cromly.

“I see TAC’s mission and that of the Camino de California Eucharistic Pilgrimage and Congress as similar in our desire to build a culture of faith grounded in the reality of God’s love, mercy, and truth, with the Eucharist as the source and summit of our faith and ultimately of all healing,” says College Counselor Greg Wood, LMFT, one of the event’s organizers. “We seek to revive the evangelical mission of the original California Missions and find Thomas Aquinas College is a natural ally to that purpose and even architecturally coherent in the Mission Revival style of the campus buildings.”
