mass/church services

Yesterday on arriving in Santiago, I attended the Taize style prayer service at 4:30 in the chapel at the Pilgrim office. It was a lovely, low keyed and meaningful way to reflect on my journey. It was presented in Spanish and English and is focused on song and reflection. The chapel is just...

Can you attend mass and pilgrim blessing in Sahagun if not staying at Albergue de la Santa Cruz?

Hi, Can anyone tell me the name of the Pilipino priest that says the English Mass at the Cathedral de Compostela? He has walked 3 Caminos himself. He is about 40-50ish years old. I want to send him some information, but I have forgotten his name. Does anyone know of the mailing address to the...

Do I remember well that priests in the pilgrimmass welcome pilgrims in several languages? I want to know this for sure for a camino story.

…according to this newspaper article out yesterday: https://www.elprogreso.es/articulo/galicia/papa-francisco-visitara-santiago-xacobeo-principios-agosto/202110310100211536691.html

May someone please explain how does getting into the mass on the all saints day (with botafumeiro) work? One of the pilgrims told me yesterday that I would have to make a reservation at the pilgrims office at the cost of $300 to attend. True?

So, I understand the botafumeiro is only officially used during official celebrations, but I also gather that it's also used way more than this because of benefactors 'buying' the service. I was wondering which daily pilgrims mass I should attend in order to get the most chances to see it in...

Hi all. I’m heading out on my first camino (Frances) from Ponferrada next Sunday. Can any one confirm that these are the times of the Pilgrims Mass in the cathedral this year? And that this will be the times every day throughout the year (I’m arriving in Santiago in the middle of October). I...

Hi everyone , just a quick one. Is there any English mass at the cathedral now ? I am in Santiago now & went to a few but all in spanish. The cathedral is really beautiful & the experience of mass there is amazing but having walked caminos over previous years I do miss the coziness of the...

Hi Is the botafumeiro been used in the mass please and can anybody tell me how long the midday mass is approx. Hoping to get mass before I have to head for airport Tia

I have seen booklets/books for participating in Mass in Spanish (with English and Spanish). Is there such a thing in Portuguese? Many thanks!

Hi, I leave 4th of July, American Independence Day!- With God’s help- I know God never ceases to bring His people to Him and I’ll get to celebrate Mass as I need to. I’m wondering if you have attended Mass on the Coastal Camino, where, when? Daily Masses are fantastic, yes? Of course in Santiago...

Is the renovation at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela complete? Will mass be held there on July 25th? Their website shows a schedule for mass at a different location. Appreciate your response😊

My husband and I walked from Leon to Santiago in October 2019 intending to return in 2020 for the first half. We are now planning that return of SJPDP to Leon in April/May 2022. As the Cathederal was under construction when we were there, even though we will end in Leon, we intend to take the...

Beautiful 🙏

In normal years, I'm informed, the Sudarium is made available for viewing on only three days each year. One of those days is the Feast of the Holy Cross -- September 14th. Now, I'm determined to return to Spain in September, and I'd gladly structure my walk around seeing it, if possible. Anyone...

Part of the joy of walking a Camino for me is visiting the churches along the way. Being quite a Spiritual person, I love to drop in and pause for reflection and give thanks for being able to make the journey. But quite apart from that, the deep sense of history, and the feeling of being amongst...

My wife and I are planning to cycle the Camino Frances from Leon in the Fall of 2021. We would like to go to confession at the Cathedral in Santiago when we complete our journey. Being the fact that it is a Holy Year I was wondering how the confessional set up might look like ? I suspect the...
