Traveling Monstrance

On November 24^th, 2004, Saint Pope John Paul II blessed six monstrances for use during the Year of the Eucharist for people to pray for an increase of vocations to ordained ministry and consecrated life.

At the request of Bishop Robert Barron, the newly installed Bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester, the Traveling Monstrance was available for the Diocese the month of November and part of December 2022.

With the initiation of the three-year National Eucharistic Revival, the Serra Clubs of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester shared their commitment to further encourage the faithful to grow their relationship with Jesus Christ and further strengthen the connection between the Sacrament of the Eucharist and priestly vocations.
