Camino of St Joseph 5 – 6 September
Given the exponential growth of the Camino over the past few years, and the forecast of 1,000 plus men participating in 2025, more time will allow us to better plan for the larger numbers expected.
We are raising this event to the next level. More men, more prayer, more grace!!!
All the other details about the event remain the same.
Registrations are open and we’ll have more time to reach more men! That means more opportunity for you to invite your mates, sons, brothers, and fathers.
We will also continue to recruit volunteers to help run this epic event.
We now look forward to a magnified St Joseph’s Men’s Camino in September 2025!

How to Spiritually prepare for the Camino
Options include:
Option 1 – Praying the 33day Consecration to St Joseph.
Pray the 33 Day Consecration to St Joseph using Fr Donald Calloway’s book. Choose one of the feasts listed in the Consecration Chart contained in the book that is before the date of the Camino.

You could also pray this after the Consecration to see out the remainder of August in preparation for the Camino in early September.
