Executive summary

Coverage in available reporting shows Jonathan Roumie — the actor who plays Jesus in The Chosen — participated in public Catholic events in 2025 (notably a New York City Eucharistic procession on Oct. 14, 2025) and has previously portrayed Jesus in other projects and made pilgrimages and Vatican visits earlier in 2025 (June). Available sources document Roumie leading meditations at St. Patrick’s Cathedral and speaking at the Napa Institute event (Oct. 14) and describe his Vatican presence in June 2025 [1] [2] [3].

1. The Oct. 14, 2025 NYC Eucharistic procession — what happened and Roumie’s role

Multiple outlets report that on Oct. 14, 2025, a large public Eucharistic procession in New York City began at St. Patrick’s Cathedral and proceeded through Manhattan during rush hour; Jonathan Roumie appeared as a celebrity guest and helped lead Eucharistic meditations inside the cathedral prior to the procession [2] [4]. The event was hosted by the Napa Institute and included confessions and meditations at St. Patrick’s before the street procession, with photo captions and reportage noting Roumie’s participation in the meditations [2] [4].

2. What Roumie said and his public messaging at that event

Reporting from the National Catholic Register includes a transcript excerpt of Roumie’s talk delivered inside St. Patrick’s just before Mass that preceded the Oct. 14 procession; in the published excerpt Roumie urged attendees not to “grow weary” and to value online, authentic, prayerful presence as part of spreading Jesus’ message, and he shared a testimony of personal surrender to Christ amid career instability [1]. Church-focused outlets emphasized his role as a participant and speaker in a devotional, not a doctrinal, capacity [2] [4].

3. Context from Roumie’s 2025 activities earlier in the year

Roumie’s presence at religious and Vatican-related events earlier in 2025 is well documented: he and The Chosen cast visited the Vatican after filming Crucifixion scenes in Italy, and he was scheduled to present a gift from The Chosen at a June 25 general audience with Pope Leo XIV, an engagement Roumie described as “humbling” [3] [5]. He also has traveled on promotional and devotional visits — for example, attending The Chosen’s launch in the Philippines and participating in Holy Land programming — which provides continuity to his public role as both an actor and a lay Catholic voice [6] [7].

4. Prior portrayals of Jesus and links to devotional projects

Roumie has portrayed Jesus in projects preceding The Chosen, including scenes for a film about St. Faustina’s visions and earlier stage and screen work; outlets note that filmmakers used Roumie for portrayals of Jesus in multiple contexts, including dramatizations of St. Faustina’s visitations, which ties into the recurring devotional imagery in his public life [8] [9]. This background helps explain why Catholic organizations and devotional events would invite him to lead meditations and speak.

5. What the reports do not claim — and limitations of available sources

Available sources do not mention any literal or supernatural “visitations from Christ” to Jonathan Roumie in late October 2025; they report on public events, talks, meditations, interviews, and portrayals of Jesus in film and television [1] [2] [3] [8]. If you are asking specifically whether Roumie reported private visions or supernatural visitations in “the last of Oct., 2025,” that claim is not found in the provided reporting. The sources focus on public appearances and statements rather than private mystical claims [1] [2] [3].

6. Competing perspectives and implicit agendas to note

Religious outlets (National Catholic Register, EWTN/ChurchPOP-style sites) present Roumie’s involvement positively, emphasizing devotional impact, personal testimony, and the popular appeal of The Chosen; these outlets target Catholic and devotional audiences and have an institutional interest in promoting Eucharistic devotion and high-profile Catholic-adjacent figures [1] [2] [4]. More general or secular outlets are not present among the provided sources, so independent verification beyond Catholic media is not shown in the materials supplied (not found in current reporting). Promotional pages (conference presenter bios) also highlight career achievements and upcoming projects, which serve marketing aims [10].

7. Bottom line for readers seeking clarity

Documented facts in available reporting: Roumie led meditations and spoke at the Napa Institute–hosted Eucharistic events in New York City on Oct. 14, 2025, and he had Vatican-related activities in June 2025 [1] [2] [3]. The materials do not report private mystical visitations to Roumie in late October 2025; claims about supernatural visitations are not found in the cited coverage and would require new, specific sourcing to substantiate [1] [2] [3] [8].
