Camino Companions

Camino Companions is an FCJ project in Santiago de Compostela to offer pilgrims a space to articulate and find meaning at the end of their Camino.

 

Every year, from Easter to October, a group of FCJ Sisters and other volunteers stay in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, the destination of the Camino de Santiago. We offer various activities throughout the day aiming at creating a space where pilgrims can articulate their experience at the end of the Camino and explore its meaning.

What we offer

Camino Companions is based in the Pilgrims Office, the welcome centre for pilgrims of the Cathedral of Santiago. It is located on Rua Carretas, 33. Visit us at Room 6, on the first floor, between 9.30 am and 6pm from Monday through Saturday.

Contact us through our facebook page or email caminocompanions @ gmail.com

What is God’s love? It is not something vague, some generic feeling. God’s love has a name and a face: Jesus Christ, Jesus. Love for God is made manifest in Jesus.

There is a great clarity about what God is asking and we are freely able to respond because regardless of the consequences our path is clear. St Paul's conversion is a good biblical example - in a moment of clarity he was able to understand completely that God was calling him to change direction, and he responded....
