Every Catholic Must Do This Before They Die! w/ TJ Bogan | Purposely Catholic | Ep. 85

About this episode

Walking the Camino raises practical questions as well as spiritual ones. TJ Bogan, founder of Follow My Camino, joins Purposely Catholic to discuss the pilgrimage's history, the relationships formed along the way, and preparing to make the journey yourself.

We talk about community, stepping beyond your comfort zone, and how TJ prepares people for pilgrimage. The conversation also includes the Camino Pilgrim Foundation and Carlo Acutis. If you've considered the Camino but aren't sure where to begin, this episode introduces both the meaning of the pilgrimage and the work of getting ready to go.
