First Camino starting on May 29

[Devin Burns]

Getting excited for my Camino coming up starting on May 29 for SJPdP. It is my first one and I think it will be a truly blessed pilgrimage.

I am particularly excited, because I will be ordained a priest just days before that in Kansas. I happen to get a month of vacation before my assignment starts (it's a nice perk I guess), and I believe the Camino will be a beautiful way for me to give thanks to God and to come even closer to Him along the Way.

Thanks to all the forum members that have provided information and helped me plan this journey. I hope to see a few of you out there.

Buen Camino!

Buen Camino Devin. What a lovely way to prepare for your new role.

Don't forget to bring your celebrat, everything else needed to celebrate mass will be normally provided by the local church. Have also a look at http://www.misas.org/ and http://www.misas.org/docs/ordinario-idiomas for some helpful info. Buen Camino! SY

Hi there, I wish you a very spiritual Camino. Buen Camino, Peter.

Buen Camino and congratulations on your ordination. My nephew and I will be leaving Sahagun on the 11th of June, we may cross paths.

 

[naplesdon]

Congratulations
I hope I get to meet you. I start my Camino a few days earlier in Oloron-Sainte-Marie, my path will be longer than yours but it's possible we might cross paths in Puenta la Reina. Buen Camino.

Heartfelt congratulations and a very buen Camino to you, Devin!
May you have all blessings of the way.

My personal opinion is that you will need more than one month if you start from SJPdP.
The heat will get you.

Judging by his avatar he is still young ;-) So he might be able to do it in 30/31 days - with the help of God ;-) SY

Yes...he does have an inside track. May your feet have have wings, Fr Devin!

[And...Joe does have a point. 33 days is more 'comfortable'. Maybe consider giving yourself breathing room by starting in Roncesvalles (BTW, the evening Pilgrim mass there is special) or even Pamplona. The only downside of the latter is that you'd miss the church and albergue in Zabaldika run by the Srs of the Sacred Heart. This is also special!]

I am certainly a little worried about the short time frame. Worst case scenario is that I can catch a bus or taxi to make it t0 Santiago, if my feet fail me (which is a definite possibility).

Regardless, I look forward to meeting many pilgrims along the way... and hopefully a few from this forum!

Hello Devin -- I will depart SJPdP on May 30 -- so we may meet. My father, 3 uncles and grandfather were all Lutheran ministers. I relate to your calling to the priesthood. Blessings and all good things for you!!

Have a lovely trip Father.

I too start from SJDP on May 29. This will be my second one. I grew up in KCK. Maybe we will see one another. Are you in SJDP on the 28th?

 

[Devin Burns]

Yep lindalou. I arrive in SJDP on the 28th from Pamplona and will start walking bright and early on Friday morning.

I bet we will run into each other at the start (and hopefully throughout the journey)
