This year is the 25th anniversary of the procession, and thousands of pilgrims (expected to be more than 30,000 participants) are expected to take part.

The pilgrims gather at 5:00 a.m. at All Souls Church in South San Francisco, at 5:30 there will be a Pilgrim’s Blessings, and at 6:00 a.m. pilgrims begin to walk (for locals, please expect early morning traffic delays between 5:30 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. in this area due to the march), making their way to Holy Cross Cemetery in Colma, Holy Angels Church in Daly City, St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in San Francisco, and finally to St. Mary’s Cathedral.
