Walking the Camino to Santiago

500 Miles Across Spain — What I Carried, What I Left Behind

“Walking 500 miles across Spain on the Camino de Santiago was much more than a physical journey for me. Along the way there were beautiful moments, difficult days, unexpected encounters, blisters, and more than a few lessons I never expected to learn. In this talk, I’ll share some of the stories, people, laughter, challenges, and moments of grace I experienced along the Camino - and how somewhere along those 500 miles, I discovered that the journey is not only about what you carry with you, but also what you learn to leave behind.”

What happens when you step out of your everyday comfort zone and walk 500 miles across Spain with just the pack on your back?

Join us for a special one-night presentation as Fr. Gerald Walsh shares his personal pilgrimage along the historic Camino de Santiago. Beyond the breathtaking vistas and rugged trails, the true heart of the Camino unfolded in blistered feet, chance encounters, shared laughter, and quiet moments of divine grace. Fr. Gerald Walsh will reflect on the triumphs and challenges of the journey—and how, somewhere along those 500 miles, he discovered that pilgrimage isn’t just about what you carry with you, but what you learn to leave behind.

Whether you’ve dreamed of walking the Camino yourself or are simply seeking fresh spiritual insight for your own life's journey, come be inspired by an evening of storytelling, humor, and faith.
