The Pilgrim is off to Ecuador again, leaving on October 25, 2010 and returning on October 31. This trip will be a little different from the one last year. First, St. Mark's Vicar, Ben Kifer will be going on this journey. St. Mark has made a commitment to send its interns to see/participate in our ministry in Ecuador. Second, we will travel in-country to Santo Domingo to see the water well St. Mark paid to construct and to meet some of the people. Third, we will get to participate in Confirmations and Baptisms on October 30, on the eve of Reformation Day. A good sign of how far the church has traveled over the past 493 years.
For the next installment of the St. Mark Pilgrim, the Pilgrim is off to Ecuador to visit with the children and the people who work with them. This excursion will be from October 26-31, 2009. Again, you are invited to join in the journey.
On June 20, 2009, 14 pilgrims set out from St. Mark in Yorktown, Virginia to travel El Camino de Santiago (the way of St. James) in Compostela (the field of stars) Spain. We will walk 115 km (71.5 miles) and arrive at our destination on June 26. We invite you to join us on our pilgrimage.
