On the streets of Sydney, while the city slept, more than 1,500 men walked through the darkness carrying a statue of St Joseph, praying the Rosary and offering their journey for their families, the sick, and the renewal of fatherhood.
“The Camino of St Joseph” is an Americana-inspired tribute to this remarkable overnight pilgrimage, which began at St Patrick’s Church Hill and travelled more than 20 kilometres through Sydney, stopping to pray at seven historic churches:
St Patrick’s, Church Hill
St Brendan’s, Annandale
St Joseph’s, Camperdown
St Benedict’s, Broadway
St Peter’s, Surry Hills
St Canice’s, Elizabeth Bay
St Mary’s Cathedral, Sydney
From confession before the walk, to the Rosary through the sleeping streets, to the final Mass at St Mary’s Cathedral as dawn broke, the Camino became a powerful witness to faith, brotherhood, sacrifice, fatherhood and the desire to become better men through Christ.
Inspired by the words of the pilgrims themselves, this song celebrates St Joseph as the earthly protector of the Holy Family and a spiritual father for men today.
Walk on, brothers. The morning will come.
