Oratory Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela

We are heading out to walk about 175km of the Camino in Spain. Millions have walked before us and millions will walk after us. We are walking in the footsteps of our ancestors. Taking the same steps as they did. Walking under the same sky, on the same earth that has been given to us by God. It is difficult to imagine the beauty, the struggles, the successes and the life changing events that will occur in all of us between May 4 and May 17, 2009.


We are travelling with a multi generational group, mostly under the age of 18. I am humbled by the dedication of the youth in the group to their desire to live in a culture of life, to pursue their vocations through prayer and to maintain their faith despite the many obstacles that are put in their way.



To find out about our pilgrimage please check out the Santiago pilgrimage page on the Oratory's web site.
