Ohio – Cleveland Area members Greg Zenczak, KM, Mary Zenczak, DM, Brian McDonough, KM, and Liz McDonough took part in the Order of Malta, American Association’s 9th Annual Baby Steps Camino, a three-day beach pilgrimage from Jacksonville Beach to the Our Lady of La Leche National Shrine at Mission Nombre de Dios in St. Augustine. 

This camino consisted of three days of walking ten miles per day, with Mass, Confession, Holy Hours, and pilgrim socials each day. Pilgrims received stamps in their official credential passport after each day, and the 30 miles completed counted toward the Camino de Santiago Compostela in Spain.

This annual event provided opportunities for prayer, reflection, sacrifice, worship, and fellowship. The pilgrimage concluded with a Mass celebrated by Bishop Erik T. Pohlmeier at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine.
