There is nothing like walking with Jesus through Midtown Manhattan during rush hour.
Our film team captured the Napa Institute's 5th annual Eucharistic Procession through NYC, inspiring homilies from Msgr James Shea and Bishop Joseph Espaillat, and thoughts from pilgrims who joined in the walk.
Cimela and Jessi came straight from their pilgrimage in Medjugorje to meet Garret in NYC to film the procession. Our team was also joined by Kyle Smith, a Catholic photographer and friend of ours from Houston. His talents greatly added to our ability to capture this special event.
After filming, we wasted no time! As soon as we got back to our Airbnb we started looking through footage. Our team spent 48 hours straight editing about 6 hours of procession footage, homilies, and interviews into a 3 minute video.
We were blessed to find a tiny chapel for daily Mass which kept us going.
It was an incredibly rewarding experience. We're so grateful we were able to join so many pilgrims in the streets of Manhattan sharing our love of Jesus. A few people did feel our large group had gotten in the way of their commute, but most onlookers were kind, curious, and genuinely happy to hear that we were a large group of Catholics just wanting to bring Jesus out into the streets.
Feast your eyes on our collaboration with the Holy Spirit:
We love bringing these experiences to a wider audience through our videos, which are made possible by your prayers and the generous support of our donors.
