(Radio Iowa) – A procession that part of a Catholic National Eucharistic Pilgrimage will pass through Iowa. Father Jacob Epstein of the Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Council Bluffs says four pilgrimages will merge into one.

The procession that started in California makes its way into Iowa and for a mass at Tom Hanafan’s River’s Edge Park Sunday at 1:45 before making its way through Omaha into Iowa and eventually to Father Epstein’s church.

The procession will stop at several Iowa churches before making its way to Indianapolis.

Father Epstein says this event is rare.

The procession will leave the Corpus Christi Parish Monday afternoon at 12:45 following a mass.
