[QUOTE="Kanga, post: 789812, member: 143"] As I understand it the Pilgrims Office used to be staffed by a permanent paid core staff of 18 employees, with extra temporary paid staff in the busier months. Volunteers were extra helpers to welcome pilgrims, in their own language. Now the Pilgrims Office is staffed almost entirely, according to [USER=25553]@t2andreo[/USER], by volunteers. The change seems to have happened when one Cannon died, and another was put in charge. The change was not universally welcomed, especially by those who were out of a job. Each year the Cathedral receives millions of visitors. Millions. Most make a donation of at least something. I have not seen any statistics on how much money the Cathedral receives in income and donations. Or how much the Cathedral receives in grants from the Xunta and the National Government. It is regarded as a national treasure, so I assume at least something. It would be fascinating to know. If anyone feels strongly about the current problems, then they can write to: Don Julián Barrio Barrio Archbishop of Santiago [EMAIL]vicecanciller@archicompostela.org[/EMAIL] [/QUOTE]
