Father Bill Lugger and the Camino de Santiago

Father Bill Lugger, pastor of St. Casimir Parish, Lansing, is getting ready to walk with God in Spain. He is taking the northern route of the Camino de Santiago – the Way of St. James.   He is planning on walking 10 to 20 miles a day and will stay in hostels.The pilgrimage he is taking is the result of people talking about the trip. He says, “I saw the movie The Way. Then, while I was at my Mom and Dad’s for Christmas, I read an article about it in the AARP magazine. Later, I taught a class at Siena Heights in Adrian where many of the students talked about it.”
Father Lugger received a month sabbatical from Bishop Boyea for the walk. He will share details and photos of the Way of St. James after the walk is finished in October.
For his pilgrimage, Father Lugger is asking for donations to be made to IHM / St. Casimir School and Advent House – a women’s shelter. If you are interested in making a donation, it can be sent to St. Casimir Parish, 815 Sparrow Ave., Lansing, 48910.
