BROOKLYN, May 28 — After journeying through the Diocese of Brooklyn, the pilgrims of the Seton Route of the National Eucharistic pilgrimage boarded a boat that brought the monstrance across the Hudson River to Jersey City.
The boat stopped at Liberty Island, where Cardinal Timothy Dolan gave Eucharistic Benediction to those standing beneath the Statue of Liberty, where many Catholic young adults had assembled.
During that part of the pilgrimage on the waters, the pilgrims on board sat around the Blessed Sacrament, praying the rosary, singing Eucharistic hymns, praying litanies and adoring the Eucharistic Jesus in silence.
