Annual Camino de Santiago in Lake Forest, California
Our annual CAMINO de Santiago is a vibrant celebration of community, faith, and fellowship as we come together in prayer to honor the feast of our patron saint, Saint James the Greater or in Spanish: Santiago de Compostela. This Camino is a re-creation of the pilgrimage celebrated throughout the year by many thousands from around the world to the Shrine of Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
We begin the day with a meaningful pilgrimage, walking from a designated point in the city of Lake Forest to our parish: “Santiago de Compostela”, symbolizing our shared spiritual journey and unity.
This event features three pilgrimage routes, each with stations for reflection and spiritual enrichment for our pilgrims.
- Saint James Way (7 mile walk from beginning of Aliso Creek Bike Trail)
- Our Lady of the Pillar Way (4 mile walk from Lake Forest Sports Park)
- Saint Joseph Way (Rimgate Park): Pilgrim PRAYER WARRIOR (this does not involve walking) & Camino for Families with Children under 10 years old with activities and reflections specially designed for our younger pilgrims.
After pilgrims complete their walk, we offer a variety of “Post-Walk Activities”:
- Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.
- “Holy Lives: A Reflective Exhibit of Saints’ Stories and Images”: An opportunity for personal reflection and quiet prayer, as you walk through powerful images and stories of saints in a peaceful, meditative setting.
- Pilgrim Mass, celebrated by The Most Reverend Timothy E. Freyer, D.D.
- Feast of Saint James at Noon (Fellowship Meal).
- Music, movies, and more!
