Some reached out directly because they \u201cfelt called\u201d and some were were asked if they wished to join based on organizers\u2019 judgment that they would be \u201ca good fit.\u201d From there, pilgrimage staff, the chaplains, and their superiors organized the schedule.<\/p>\n<p>The chaplains are \u201call stationed in different places\u201d but have traveled to be a part of the experience, Benes said. \u201cIn fact, a few are stationed in other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As they travel, the chaplains take on a number of jobs. \u201cThe first part is the pastoral care of the team,\u201d Benes said, adding that some helped lead a February retreat in preparation and a \u201cday of recollection\u201d before the pilgrimage started in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n<p>On the road, the chaplains hear confessions, give homilies, provide reflections, and evangelize. They also help with music during many of the processions, leading worship in both English and Spanish.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen the day-to-day of praying with the team, spiritual protection prayers for the team, and any pastoral concerns that come up. Then the second part of their role is to help bring the Eucharist to the public,\u201d Benes said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CNA spoke to the two Franciscan Capuchins priests \u2014 Iwancio and Herlihey \u2014 about their experiences so far and their time with the pilgrims.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Father Christopher Iwancio, OFM Cap<\/h2>\n<p>Iwancio helped the pilgrims through the retreat prior to their departure.<strong> <\/strong>To help calm their nerves he told them that \u201ceven the disciples had the same nervousness.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey had uncertainty. Even when Jesus ascended to heaven, there was still a little uncertainty for the disciples. There\u2019s something to be ruptured into that encounter experience, but there\u2019s also the practicality, because you have to balance both the spiritual with the practical,\u201d\u00a0Iwancio told CNA.<\/p>\n<p>Iwancio, who is based in Los Angeles, said the retreat was a time of \u201cgetting spiritually prepared,\u201d going over \u201clogistics,\u201d and preparing for \u201csituations that they\u2019ve never seen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Logistical matters consisted of \u201cgetting the van prepared and reorganizing the trailer.\u201d The pilgrims make four to five stops a day and travel with a van that Iwancio said is \u201ckind of a portable chapel, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a tabernacle attached to the van and it serves as a compartment where the Blessed Sacrament can be reserved and that can be opened up and the monstrance fits on top. There\u2019s prayer cards for along the way.\u201d The group organized \u201cthe shelves with all the liturgical items.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe trailer is almost like a sacristy,\u201d Iwancio said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Iwancio also helped the pilgrims with the spiritual direction they needed prior to leaving by encouraging them to go to confession and to take time away when they need a break while on the journey. \u201cThey need to take care of themselves,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Iwancio said it is important to balance \u201cbeing present with Jesus\u201d and the operational matters. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of balancing that Martha and Mary approach for the experience,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re a nice great group of young people and they have a great variety of skill sets because each brings a different gift to the experience \u2026 It\u2019s a nice mix of gifts and talents,\u201d Iwancio said.<\/p>\n<p>Iwancio will join the group toward the end of the pilgrimage. \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to this idea of \u2026 bringing hope during the jubilee year.

They were willing to step away from their lives, their jobs, their families, friends, cities for a period of five weeks to be Eucharistic evangelizers, if you will,\u201d Herlihey said.<\/p>\n<p>Herlihey also led the initial retreat for the pilgrims and then spent the first 10 days of the pilgrimage with them. He reflected on the week and half of traveling saying that \u201cthe intentionality that comes to the pilgrims forming a family \u2026 was very powerful. In fact, I think it was one of the strongest parts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During his time on the pilgrimage, Herlihey witnessed the Eucharist travel in a boat, a helicopter, and a van. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of cool to think of a helicopter being a temporary tabernacle\u201d or a boat \u201cbeing a temporary vessel carrying Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Herlihey shared some of his favorite and most memorable moments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI literally got to cross the Mississippi River in a fishing boat with Jesus and see the crowds waiting on the shore for him to arrive. I was pinching myself going, \u2018This will be in my homily for decades,\u2019\u201d he joked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand now, Jesus getting into the boat, going away from the crowds, out into the silence of the water to pray.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Herlihey also shared some challenges the pilgrims have faced on the journey. They have run into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/news\/264473\/eucharistic-revival-urges-pilgrims-to-meet-anti-catholic-protests-with-peace-prayer\" target=\"null\" class=\"null\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">anti-Catholic protestors<\/a> that started out in small numbers but now travel in groups of around 50 people.<\/p>\n<p>Before the pilgrimage began, Herlihey held a Mass for the pilgrims. He reflected that \u201cin praying over the homily, the Holy Spirit asked \u2026 \u2018to embrace the cross.\u2019\u201d Herlihey said \u201cto be honest, I didn\u2019t want that to be the homily.\u201d He said he wanted to give an \u201cexciting talk,\u201d but \u201cthe Holy Spirit did not budge\u201d \u2014 he said he felt the Holy Spirit saying, \u201cYou\u2019re going to talk about embracing the cross and the importance of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the Mass, Herlihey was pleasantly surprised when multiple pilgrims shared that \u201cembracing the cross and embracing death\u201d had been topics they were praying about.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, hindsight is 20-20,\u201d Herlihey said. \u201cHere we are \u2026 weeks later, and they\u2019re experiencing crosses. They\u2019re carrying their cross amidst a white martyrdom right now with all the counter-protesters. It\u2019s just like \u2026 \u2018Holy Spirit, you knew what you were doing.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another difficult part that Herlihey said \u201cpained\u201d him was that they \u201ccouldn\u2019t go to more places\u201d with the Eucharist. \u201cI would love to go to every one of the parishioners\u2019 houses, their workplaces, their schools, everywhere. And then I had a thought,\u201d Herlihey said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe receive Jesus into our bodies in the Mass, and so we all become tabernacles. And those tabernacles carry Jesus as the helicopter does, as the boat does, as the van does, as the monstrance does. Our bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Herlihey said the Lord is saying, \u201cI want to give my body and blood to people because I want my body and blood to travel to every office, school, and household. I\u2019m going to do it by making people my tabernacles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One thing Herlihey said he hopes people know is that the priests and pilgrims are \u201cnot bringing one sacrament,\u201d they are \u201cbringing two.\u201d Herlihey shared he heard confessions for three hours in the procession line as he walked through Iowa.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The chaplains will continue to bring the sacraments to people across Texas, New Mexico, and California as the pilgrimage comes to a conclusion over the next two weeks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/news\/264679\/what-it-s-like-to-be-a-chaplain-on-the-road-with-the-body-of-christ\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/news\/264679\/what-it-s-like-to-be-a-chaplain-on-the-road-with-the-body-of-christ<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Father Michael Herlihey, OFM Cap, one of three chaplains serving pilgrims along the Drexel Route, blesses children following the opening Mass of the 2025 Eucharistic Pilgrimage in Indianpolis on May 18, 2025. \/ Credit: Jeffrey Bruno Washington, D.C.
