CAMINO DE SANTIAGO
Archdiocese of St. Louis
July 15 - 26, 2026
Join a transformative spiritual journey blending faith, exploration, and the historic Camino de Santiago, as Rwandan genocide survivor Immaculée Ilibagiza shares her story of redemption. Raised in a peaceful village, she excelled in school and studied engineering at the National University of Rwanda, but in 1994, the president's assassination sparked the genocide, forcing her to hide for 91 days in a tiny bathroom with seven women. Surrounded by chaos and evil, she turned to the rosary, her father’s parting gift, and prayed to Our Lady. Starting in St. Louis, Missouri, the trip explores Portugal and Spain's sacred sites and cultural landmarks, featuring the Portuguese Coastal Camino from Vigo to Santiago de Compostela, with reflection, community, physical challenges, group meals, and spiritual growth. Hotels include breakfast and dinner, as Immaculée inspires with messages of love, hope, forgiveness, Our Lady's miracles, global apparitions like Our Lady of Kibeho in Rwanda, and the Rosary's life-changing power.
