    Camino Companions is a project from the FCJ Sisters in Europe based in the Pilgrims Office, the welcome centre for pilgrims of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, Spain. The project relies on a wide team of volunteers from all over the world. Volunteers include FCJ Sisters, FCJ Companions in Mission and pilgrims the team has met over the years. Read some of the accounts written by those who volunteered in the late part of the 2025 Camino Companions season.
