The event was spearheaded by Fr Geoff Aldous, who says that it was “an exercise of community building” between four parishes including Rockingham Our Lady of Lourdes, Kwinana St Vincent’s, Port Kennedy Saint Bernadette’s and Baldivis St Teresa of Calcutta.
A little team was co-ordinated to organise the day held on Saturday, 7 October, and a small bus was hired to leave from Our Lady of Lourdes Church Rockingham.
Catholic Youth Ministry Perth recently embarked on a mini camino with 17 participants on Saturday 23 October. The journey began with a Mass at Our Lady of the Revelation Shrine in Bullsbrook and ended at the newly completed Divine Mercy Church in Chittering – a gruelling 15km track up and down the rolling hills.
Seasoned pilgrims Shirley-Ann Poulton and Judith share their past camino experiences and encourage the community to embark on the upcoming Camino Francis (The French Way), scheduled from 7 August to 22 September 2022.
