Three Openings for 2025 Sesquicentennial Camino de Santiago Pilgrimage

July 15, 2025

Three openings have arisen for the 2025 Sesquicentennial Camino de Santiago Pilgrimage with the Dean.

For more information about the itinerary, click here. If you are interested in claiming one of the three openings for the pilgrimage, contact Randy Pierson.

October 2025 marks a milestone in our St. James history, honoring the rebuilding and re-dedication of the Cathedral after the Great Chicago Fire. We will be kicking off our 150th year with a pilgrimage led by our Dean, Lisa Hackney-James, and St. James member Álvaro de Salas Giménez de Azcárate, Consul General of Spain to the U.S.

 This journey will follow parts of the Camino de Santiago, the historic path to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, with a special stop in Zaragoza, Consul General DeSalas’s hometown and a key pilgrimage site.  This itinerary is a "kinder gentler" camino and geared toward those who might find extensive hiking difficult.
