Mini-Camino

Join us on five mile hike through nature preserves on an experience of age old pilgrimage.

We will start with a short historical presentation, then Mass at St Cyril and Methodius in Lemont, a beautiful church set high on "blue hill." Next we will walk, and sing:), along approximately five miles of forest preserve to arrive at St James Catholic Church. On the way, learn about traditions of pilgrimage, the life and influence of St James, about the Catholic respect of the deceased, the history of IL and more! The journey will end with a prayer of thanksgiving, a b-y-o picnic in a historic cemetery (containing remains of at least one who was alive when Washington was president!). There will be much to be shared in this active experience of what is sacred.
