October 2025 marks a milestone in our St. James history, honoring the rebuilding and re-dedication of the Cathedral after the Great Chicago Fire. We will be kicking off our 150th year with a pilgrimage led by our Dean, Lisa Hackney-James, and St. James member Álvaro de Salas Giménez de Azcárate, Consul General of Spain to the U.S.
This journey will follow parts of the Camino de Santiago, the historic path to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, with a special stop in Zaragoza, Consul General DeSalas’s hometown and a key pilgrimage site. This itinerary is a "kinder gentler" camino and geared toward those who might find extensive hiking difficult.
