A Heart For Eucharistic Pilgrimage

Universal Voices is back with an all new A Heart For mini-series. In this episode, Alissa welcomes Chenele Shaw to share about her heart for The National Eucharistic Pilgrimage. This episode is packed with goodness as the two chat about the extraordinary opportunity to walk with Jesus all over the United States as part of the larger Eucharistic Revival. The pilgrimage which begins at four different pilgrimage routes across the country on Pentecost Sunday (May 19th) will conclude just before the National Eucharistic Congress in July. This episode is not only full of excellent information, it is also jam packed with hope! Listen in as Chenele and Alissa dive into:

• The incredible people of the Universal Church.
• What the Eucharistic Pilgrimage is.
• Chenele's role in helping the pilgrimage come to life.
• Walking and Praying.
