Spiritual Reflections From a Priest in the Rockies
On July 25th, the Church celebrates the Feast of St. James the Apostle. Tradition states that St James evangelized the people of Spain, and then after his martyrdom in Palestine, his relics were returned to Spain and are currently buried in the grand Cathedral at Santiago de Compostella. For centuries pilgrimages have walked from various starting points across Europe along the famed El Camino, the most popular pilgrim trail going across the central northern portion of Spain on the Camino Frances for 800km from the French border to the famed Cathedral that safeguards the bones of the Apostle.
As our parish prepares for the opening of our new shrine church, we also hope that the experience of pilgrimage will become a part of our parish's life and identity. Perhaps one day we will see pilgrims start at various starting points throughout Canada to go on pilgrimage and find at the Shrine Church of Our Lady of the Rockies the happy end to their pilgrimage journey! Stay tuned for the bicycle pilgrimage we have planned between St. Mary's in Banff to the site of the new shrine church in August. May it be a first taste of how pilgrimages will shape the spirit and mission of our parish!
In Jesus Through Mary,
Fr. Nathan Siray
