Encouraging Fr Ray Chapman sm on a Marist Camino 23-29 June, 2021.

Fr Ray Chapman  began the Camino in Cerdon.  Sr Teri O’Brien met him there for the first stage of the pilgrimage and walked the steep climb to La Balme, Jean Claude Colin’s first mission and and back to Cerdon.  Ray continued for the following days to several missions, walking long distances with steep climbs! Cerdon,  Labalme,  Vieu d’Izenave,  Izenave, Corlier, Aranc,Lacoux, Chaley, Tenay, Arandas, Ordonnaz, Lompnaz, Innimont, St Germain les Paroisses,Belley, Chazey Bons, Cuzieu and St Champ.

On the more challenging days, Teri drove to meet him with coffee and French pastries.

Teri writes:

“ I walked the last part of the pilgrimage and by choosing the wrong path, we had a 20 km hike rather than about 10. He won’t let me forget that slight error any time in the near future. This challenging pilgrimage certainly highlights the courage and devotion of our early Marists!”
