Clockwise from top left: A pilgrim hostel; a place of refuge in the Church of the Good Shepherd; Segovia Cathedral en route to Compostela; the food store in the Church of the Good Shepherd; with the Rector and staff at the Church of the Good Shepherd; the cathedral.

Friday morning provided the opportunity to visit a school complex of German foundation where there are the church’s Theological Seminary shared with The United Church and a primary and secondary school.

It also provided the chance to visit the Church of The Good Shepherd in the suburbs, its rector Jessica and those who work with her. There are four such new parishes dedicated to evangelism: The Good Shepherd, St Michael’s, St Paul’s,  and the Church of Hope. Twenty–eight new parishes have been opened during the episcopate of Bishop Carlos.

The parish provides sanctuary for women who must leave home, food for those with no food and scope for young people of the neighbourhood to gather and befriend one another.We then began our journey by road to Compostela where we arrived at a late hour in a repurposed monastery now a pilgrim hostel.
