In a significant step towards strengthening ecumenical dialogue, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Santiago and the Spanish Reformed Episcopal Church have signed a covenant of collaboration with the purpose of promoting coexistence and strengthening the ties between both Christian groups.

Thanks to Bishop Carlos, the Archdiocesan Ecumenical Officer, and the Archbishop of Santiago, the Church of San Félix de Solovio, also known as San Fiz, will be the new church for our Anglican Pilgrim Ministry.  It will also be the Santiago home of the Anglican Parish of the Spanish Episcopal Church.

The year began with the first of our three educational offerings: An Intensive Language and Cultural week at Casa Anglicana. There is one place left for the Writers Workshop and several spaces available for the Icon Writing workshop. Join Board member, priest, and poet Spencer Reece and Grinnell professor and poet Ralph Savarese for four days of walking and writing in April. In May, learn alongside iconographer Christine Hales who will help you step by step write your own icon of Santiago (St. James).

For us, every trip to Santiago involves work at Casa Anglicana. Reviews of Casa Anglicana provide the best place for us to see what we are doing right and where we need to improve. We continue to be grateful for all the love and attention they give to the Casa and to each guest who walks through our doors.

Friends of the Anglican Pilgrim Centre in Santiago mourn the loss of our Board Member and fellow pilgrim, Robert Willis.
