To mark this year of going out on mission during the National Eucharistic Revival, the Catholic Bishops of Ohio invite all the faithful to make a pilgrimage to Carey, Ohio, for the Vigil of the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
This annual event is powerfully moving and always draws a massive crowd. This year, Bishop Daniel E. Thomas will be joined by the other Bishops of Ohio, as well as priests, deacons, consecrated religious, and lay faithful from across the state. It will be a celebration you won't want to miss!
