Camino De Santiago
Join Fr. Conor Edmund Hardy and Deacon Eugene de Ribeaux on the “Buen Camino!” ~ Have a good Way! It’s an expression we hear along the 1,200-year-old pilgrimage paths to the tomb of miracle worker, Apostle, and blood relative of Jesus Christ, St. James, in the city of Santiago de Compostela. ‘Come away awhile’ to see anew our life as a pilgrimage towards being with Family in Heaven forever. Our journey includes friendship, food, and reflection through walks aside the refreshing coastal sea, renowned wine of Porto, stories of saints that tread before us, with prayer and Sacraments along the Way. Buen Camino!
