After journeying through the Diocese of Brooklyn, the pilgrims boarded a boat that brought the monstrance across the Hudson River to Jersey City.
The boat stopped at Liberty Island, where Cardinal Timothy Dolan raised the monstrance and blessed those standing beneath the Statue of Liberty.
During that part of the pilgrimage, the passengers on board sat around the Blessed Sacrament, praying the rosary, singing songs, and praying litanies.
