mass/church services

On the Camino everyone takes care of everyone. Yet every time I have been to the cathedral (3 Caminos), people are so rude. The savings of seats by pilgrims for others is one very clear example. I see pilgrims hobbling into the catherdral and yet for some pilgrims all acts of generosity...

There have been over time many forum threads regarding this, so I am very happy to be able to announce here on this forum publicly and in detail the “Seasonal, Anglican-led, Camino Chaplaincy of the Church of England (Diocese in Europe)” ;-) See also http://egeria.house/chaplaincy/ Seasonal -...

All: I came across this in my daily reading. I know the people personally working to make this a reality for our Anglican / Episcopalian friends. So, I thought the forum members might like to see it...

Peregrinos, can you help me with the names of the towns where the Catholic Churches in El Camino Frances have Gregorian Chants. Gracias! Humbertico

Hi all - now, you most likely already know about this but I have just discovered it. One can light a candle in the cathedral - a virtual candle that burns for 48 hours - are asked to leave the reason why - and it is free, though you may make a donation. There are currently candles lit from...

Recently I saw a discussion in whether it is appropriate to wear shorts for church and most people tended to agree that it is OK. I realise that many pilgrims are not Roman Catholics or practising Roman Catholics and may not be aware of customs and traditions of the church. I wanted to clarify...

If you will be at the monastery on 18 June the Lugo Province Friends of the Camino are holding a choral mass and concert at 12.00. Link to info on their website

Maybe it's my advanced age, but I somehow have always thought that if you are at any religious service--doesn't matter which one--you were expected to show at least a modicum of respect for all concerned. Consequently, today at the noon Pilgrim Mass in Santiago I was, as they say, shocked and...

Just read that Pope Francis be visiting Fatima next week. He's expected to draw around 400k attendees. If you're walking from Lisbon you might want to consider some alternatives for staying in the area or changing your path to get away from the crowd. Unlikely you'll find anywhere to stay...

The Cathedral of Santiago has now announced arrangements for Mass in English for this season: SEE POST 11 FOR 2019

I was lucky enough to hear Vespers at a few locations on my Camino in 2015 on the Frances. Now I am getting ready to walk the Camino Portugues in August and would love to hear that again. Are there places on the Portugues you have attended Vespers that I can mark in my Brierley so I won't miss them?

Perhaps an odd question, but is there any kind of primer for a Spanish Mass. Last camino we attended mass on several occasions but, to be honest, having only a limited Spanish vocabulary and being Protestant and unable to participate in the Eucharist, the services were too "foreign" to be very...

is there a list of Churches that have Mass and their times? I am in Roncesvallas now.

Hi all! I don't know if this has already been asked but I couldn't find it. I am going to be walking the Camino this June and I would really like to be able to go to a catholic mass as often as I can. I was wondering if there was anyone that had been on the Camino that would be able to give me...

Here is a link to an article appearing in the Anglican Church of Canada Journal from earlier this year about a proposal for an Anglican Centre in SdC. http://www.anglicanjournal.com/articles/new-anglican-centre-proposed-for-santiago-de-compostela In it the Secretary to the Anglican Bishop of...

Hi. My wife and I are going from Sarria to Santiago mid december. We would like to know when it is best to arrive in Santiago for the Mass in the Cathedral. Is Mass everyday? Thanks.

Hi everyone I did a camino back in 2010 from Sarria and enjoyed it immensely. I wanted to go back maybe next year but I am trying to plot a route that is more religious. I want to stay at monasteries as much as I can on route. Anyone done that before? Any insights would be great!

Hi all, In April 2017 I will do the Camino Frances for the second time but this time will be bringing along my wife, parents, and and my son. April will also be when my wife and I celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. I was going to try to see if one of the priests who perform a pilgrim's...

There are bits and pieces of this in different threads, but I wanted to bring them together here. For all of you on the Camino this season, once you arrive in Santiago de Compostela there are three English-speaking resources for you: 1. English Mass in the Cathedral of Santiago Monday through...

So I'm going to be doing the Camino near the end of summer and had a bit of a thought/worry. I'm a seminary student a few years out from ordination. The tradition where I'm from is the habit/cassock is worn very frequently. I've been wanting to do the Camino for many years and now that I have...
