God has many ways… A calm attitude makes a difference!New direction: Dallas-London-Lisbon. My nephew trill, we will see the Big Ben.
It is an adventure to pack! Just the necessary items, under 20 lbs.: @ shirts, 2 short with underwear liner, 2 pair of socks, toiletries, light towel, bottle of water, head light, Vaseline, ammoniac, light sleeping bag, and no more…
All other things will be getting out of my head as I walk, and that is the good thing!
I am blessed that I am taking my nephew with me as his HS graduation present. Two Trinity HS students (my Godsons), and dad will be walking with me too. It will be truly a spiritual sacrifice. We will be visiting the Fatima Sanctuary on our first day, and we will end at the Cathedral of St. James in Compostela…
It is fascinating to prepare again for a new Camino. This time a Camino, from Porto to Santiago.I will be leaving this Sunday evening . I am sure it will be an adventure. Since 2018 mu memories of El Camino have been very vivid in my mind. This time I am taking my nephew, Annunciation Parish, and Lourdes, my new parish. It will be amazing days ahead for meditation, reflection, and healing.

St. James of Compostela has been a spiritual center for Catholic pilgrims in the world. In 2018 I walked 1,000 miles (1,650 KM) from Le Puy, France (Via Podiensis) to Santiago, Spain (Via Francesa). My goal, at the time, was very personal on my spiritual discernment, but it became an opportunity to create conscience to save the steeples of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Louisville KY. Goal accomplished!
On July, 2023 I will walk the Via Portuguese from Porto, Portugal to Santiago, Spain. This time my goal is to get a new sound system for The Church of the Annunciation in Shelbyville, KY. This time will be 280 KM, distance that I want to finish in 10 days with your support and prayers. If you want to help me by sponsoring, please send $100.00/KM to The Camino – Annunciation 105 Main St. Shelbyville, KY 40065.
After been gone for a while, it is time to let you know WHERSPADRE. I will start blogging again on January 11, 2022. It is my 27 years Anniversary in the continental USA. Remember arriving to Kentucky in shorts, a tshirt, and sandals. I was confronted with the reality of 16 inches of snow on the ground.
