The Camino de Santiago - The Way of St James - EYP - 2022

 


From 28 July to3 August, a group of Young Hospitallers from Spain took part in the EuropeanYouth Pilgrimage (EYP). The group was made up of young people linked to theBrothers of St John of God and the Sisters Hospitallers and a number ofBrothers, novices from the European Novitiate in Brescia, and some postulantsfrom the Europe Region.

 

Santiago deCompostela became the European Youth Capital for a few days, during which therewere some moments of intense faith and encounter, among which in particular werecall the catechesis by the bishops, the “vocation portico”, formation workshops,recreational activities, concerts... It was a very interesting experience ofsharing in the Church and an opportunity to get to know each other.

 

And the best wayto get to Santiago de Compostela was by taking a few stages along thePortuguese Way of St James, from Vigo to Santiago de Compostela, a few daysbeforehand, in order to make a pilgrimage to the tomb of the Apostle St James.One special feature of these days of pilgrimage together was the chance toshare some of these moments with the guests of our Brothers of St John of GodSan Rafael centre in Vigo.

 

We are sograteful for all those who worked on organising this event, especially the SanRafael Centre in Vigo, for their kind hospitality and for opening their home towelcome us in.
