Pilgrimage: Camino de Santiago
The Program
Pilgrimage: Camino de Santiago involves a spring semester half-unit course that introduces students to the religious, cultural, and aesthetic landscape of the region, and helps students cultivate their own spiritual practices and reflective imaginations. During spring break, pilgrims walk the last 100 kilometers of the French or Portuguese Way of the Camino de Santiago, the most famous pilgrimage in the Western World. The pilgrimage draws on the rich Catholic spirituality that has shaped the route for many centuries as a means of introducing students to profound spiritual questions around meaning, purpose, prayer, and well-being.
Past Camino Pilgrimages
The Chaplaincy has led four semester-long courses with accompanying pilgrimages along the Camino de Santiago in recent years.
