Predicaminata

 

     

Predicaminata is a pilgrimage that runs from Cercedilla, in the province of Madrid, to Segovia. A journey of about 32 kilometers, to remember part of the way that St. Dominic must have walked from Madrid to Segovia in 1218.

The pre-walk is organized by the laity of the Lay Fraternity of St. Dominic "Our Lady of Atocha" in collaboration with other persons and organizations of the Dominican Family.

More information.

On September 7, 2025, the Church will canonize Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, a Dominican layman born in Turin at the beginning of the 20th century. Pier Giorgio's life, although short, offers elements such as his faith manifested by his love for the Eucharist, his social activism, his charity-centered solidarity, and his Dominican vocation, which resonate and serve as an example in the context of the Jubilee of Hope that the Church celebrates this year. All of this, combined with his devotion to the mountains and his choice of joy as a way of life, has led us to choose Pier Giorgio and the fundamental keys that shaped his life as the theme of reflection for Predicaminata 2025. This year's Predicaminata will take place on September 20th, 2024. If you want to make the pilgrimage or participate in any of the complementary activities, please fulfill the registration form.

Predicaminata is sensitive to the context in which we live. In recent years, we have wanted to link Predicaminata to campaigns or missions promoted by some of the organizations of our Order.

This time, given that the theme of reflection is around the life of Pier Giorgio Frassati, a young man committed and in solidarity with those who suffered the most and had the least, Predicaminata will collaborate in the campaign promoted by Acción Verapaz for the installation of a water purification plant in El Seibo (Dominican Republic).

The new water purification plant will complement the treatment of the underground water stream that runs through the facilities of the Virgen de Covadonga nurseries, managed by the Dominican friars, and which is currently already extracted through a solar energy installation.

The installation of a water purification plant represents a significant opportunity for the other projects of the El Seibo mission, not only to ensure their economic sustainability but also to contribute to the well-being of the community.

Get involved, whether you are a participant in the pilgrimage or want to join it in spirit, and collaborate with Acción Verapaz to facilitate access to drinking water for the El Seibo community.
