My Camino del Norte

Description

While “The Camino” dates back 1,000 years for pilgrims paying reverence to St. James, martyr, it’s popularity today moved Emilio Estevez to make a movie about it called, The Way.  Why is this experience still attractive to people both young adults and not so young, and how does it relate with us? Our speaker explores The Camino as a journey, a way or path that invites us to think and feel more deeply about life, and at the same time, to live life in abundance—“I came that they might have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10).
