  • Canyon De Chelly National Monument

    Canyon De Chelly National Monument
    May 8 2025
    Long before Canyon de Chelly was officially designated in 1931, its walls already echoed with centuries of life and resilience. The Ancient Puebloans first carved out a life there, followed by the Hopi. By the mid-1600s, the Navajo—who call themselves the Diné—had made the canyon their home, building a vibrant, self-sustaining community amid the red rock cliffs. But the peace would not last. In the late 1700s, amidst conflict from rival tribes and Spanish colonists, a devastating blow dealt by the Col. Kit Carson of the U.S. Army forced the Navajo people from their homeland. Even through this darkest chapter, the Diné survived, carrying with them the strength and memory of the canyon they still call sacred. Learn more about the struggle of the Diné to rebuild what was once theirs and how their sacred lands became a National Monument.

  • El Camino de San Antonio Missions

    El Camino de San Antonio Missions
    May 5 2025

    Welcome to today’s episode, where we journey into the heart of one of the world’s most storied pilgrimages—The Camino de Santiago, also known as The Way of St. James. For centuries, pilgrims have walked from various points across England and Europe, all making their way to a single sacred destination: the Church of St. James in Santiago de Compostela, Spain.


    But did you know that the Camino now extends beyond Europe? In 2018, a remarkable milestone was reached when the Camino de San Antonio Missions in Texas became the first formally recognized Camino route outside of Europe. This honor connects the historic San Antonio Missions and San Fernando Cathedral to the wider spiritual path of El Camino de Santiago.


    Pilgrims can now walk this sacred route through San Antonio, earning 30 kilometers toward their official pilgrimage. From there, the journey continues in Ferrol, Spain, with a final 70 kilometers to complete the required 100 km for the Compostela certificate.


    Stay with us as we explore the significance of this sacred path, how you can take part, and what it means to be a modern pilgrim on a timeless journey. Ready to walk the Way? Let’s begin.

Nestled within the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, these historic missions are more than stone and mortar; they are living stories of cultural fusion, resilience, and transformation.
