Opportunity to meet,reflect and pray in Santiago

[JohnnieWalker]

The Archicofradia is the organisation commissioned by the monarchs of Spain and inaugurated in 1499 to build a hospital for pilgrims. It was to be “a Confraternity ordered and instituted, of both sexes, from whichever province or nation, in any part of the world”. Build and run a hospital it did in the building which is now the Parador, the Hostal los Reyes Catolicos. In modern times this religious organisation supports projects to help pilgrims and to encourage pilgrims to be of service to other pilgrims.

Next year the Archicofradia is running the first Pilgrim Retreat in English here in the heart of Santiago. See the attached flyer:
