Great to do this, I already put it on the calendar. Wish you all well, Peter.View attachment 19670 APPEAL FOR A FEW MOMENTS OF PRAYER FOR A MISSING PILGRIM - MID-DAY 25TH JULY (ST JAMES' FEAST DAY)
Three months ago Denise Thiem went missing while hiking the El Camino. She was last seen in Astorga. Pilgrims often lose touch with friends and family whilst on the Camino but Denise has disappeared without a trace, hasn’t used her credit cards, withdrawn money or emailed her family since then. Many people feel helpless and don’t know how to help the family who are still searching for Denise.
The St James Feast day celebrations will be held in Santiago and around the world on 25th July. Let’s pray for Denise and her family at mid-day on that day when the special pilgrim mass will be held in Santiago cathedral. Please share this appeal on Camino Forums, Saint James confraternities and our personal pages.
Hello all, today at midday I burn a candle in church and stayed there for several minutes in silence thinking about Denise and here family.Since July 25th is coming up this week, I thought that I would bring this back up to attention. It was great of Sillydoll to post this thread. I also passed along her suggestion on the Buddy System Facebook page. So hopefully we will have loads of people praying for Denise and her family.
Did you visit the memory tree, just outside Astorga?Thank you for your post. We walked from Astorga to Rabinal this October on our Camino and I was thinking of Denise whilst we walked. It is so sad and I felt it could have happened to any of us. We must look after our fellow pilgrims and try to make it as safe as we can
Hi Robo ,We paused there in May for a moment of prayer.
I'm not sure many people realise it is there.
Hi Robo ,
There is a sign beside the road , I was there in May to lay down all the shels .
There where Pilgrims passing and the only thing they where interesting in was there smartphone.
Found that so sad.
Wish you well , Peter.
Indeed .Yes I noticed that. And diving into that little Chapel? To grab a Sello.......
No I didn't notice it. I felt there should be something in her memory but I must have walked past it
