As pilgrims, we are learning how to pray with our feet!
Camino Pilgrimage
In the fall of 2022, a group of parishioners from The Church of the Redeemer walked the Camino, an ancient pilgrimage route in northern Spain. Our pilgrims started in the tiny hill town of O’Cebreiro and ended their journey over 100 km later at the shrine of St. James in the Cathedral of Santiago.
Local Pilgrimages in 2024
Since 2022, the Redeemer community has been making short day pilgrimages in the GTA. The first confirmed date for a local pilgrimage this year is Saturday, August 17 to the Toronto Islands. As part of our time together we will gather for the Eucharist at St Andrew’s by the Lake and then have lunch together. Details about what time to meet for the ferry across will be shared shortly.
Pilgrimage to the UK in 2025
A group of about 20 pilgrims from Redeemer will walk St Cuthbert’s Way beginning May 8, 2025. Planning is well underway. Please join them in their preparations for this journey. All are invited to be part of this year’s Redeemer Summer Readers book groups. We are joining with Redeemer Explorers and Creation Matters, inviting the whole community to read John Philip Newell’s, Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul. Details about the groups and registration are on the Redeemer Explorers page of the website. In addition, lectures on medieval pilgrimage, testimonials from pilgrims who have already been to Lindisfarne, and local pilgrimages in 2024 throughout the GTA may also be part of this preparation. Watch this space as plans develop and events announced.
