Join on July 18, 19, and 20, 2024 for the Diocesan Eucharistic Convocation & Pilgrimage
The Vermont Eucharistic Congress is organized in such a way that you can join us for one, two, or all three nights. Each night offers something a little different. You can make it a pilgrimage by joining us for multiple nights and traveling from one venue to the next.
This page will offer a few options to help turn your travel through Vermont into a pilgrimage. Sites will include various churches in the area that surrounds our three locations, other sites of interest that are worth a visit, and a list of hotels, bed and breakfasts, and dining options that are recommended by local parishioners.
Churches on this list are all encouraged to be open during the daytime over the course of the Convocation for those who wish to come in for some private prayer or adoration, but please call the respective parish office to verify open hours.
CHECK THIS PAGE OFTEN. INFORMATION WILL BE ADDED AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE.
