Camino


Despite being clearly warned that the rain in Spain stays exclusively on the mountains, Fr Daniel has set out with a merry band of Young Oratory to walk the Camino di Santiago to Compostella, this being a Holy Year of St James as any fule kno. The Womens' Oratory set them on their way, and are gathering sponsorship for them for the benefit of the Reaffirmation and Renewal Appeal, and there is also a "page" on the "justGiving" site by which you can directly sponsor Fr Daniel, including Gift Aid.

If they return, we will show you evidence of the hardships on their way...

We still, incidentally, have copies of "Walking with God" (by Fr Jerome Bertram), a spiritual retreat based on experiences on a similar wet walk to Compostella in 1983, available here or through Gracewing, who are handling much of Family Publications' old stock. Santiago aficionados take note!
