Join us on the first Mercy Camino in April 2025 and be the difference to patients in the care of the Mercy Hospital
The Mercy Camino Group will be walking for between 5-7 hours per day. There will be frequent breaks to take in the beautiful countryside and plenty of time to enjoy the Camino culture. Your Camino experience wouldn’t be complete without savouring the local cuisine and experiencing the well-known hospitality.
Pilgrims will complete the final 100km of the Camino de Santiago while raising vital funds for the Mercy Cancer Care Centre which will support a range of support services patients.
Over the course of the seven-night trip pilgrims will walk from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela taking in the scenic Spanish countryside finishing with spectacular views of the Cathedral in Santiago.
The Way of St. James, commonly known as the Camino de Santiago, is a network of pilgrimage routes in France, Portugal, and Spain, concluding in the beautiful and historic city of Santiago de Compostela. Every year, many thousands of walkers, known as pilgrims, take to the Camino’s scenic trails aiming for the city of Santiago de Compostela, believed to be the final resting place of St. James the apostle.
Historically many have walked the Camino for religious reasons. Now it is a spiritual adventure beyond religion. It has become a form of retreat or simply a great way to walk the countryside of Spain in the good company of other pilgrims.
With every sign up, the funds we receive from the participants’ fee, will directly allocated towards The Mercy Cancer Care Centre Appeal. Our Cancer Appeal funds vital support services for patients and their families. By taking part you will be making a real difference in the lives of patients of the Mercy Hospital.
