Camino 2027
New Dates Announced
CPT and St. Andrew’s United Church Toronto invite you to journey with us on the Camino de Santiago in Spain from March 30 to April 8, 2027.
This is a pilgrimage with deep historical and spiritual significance. This sacred path has been walked for centuries, offering a unique space for reflection, connection, and growth.
During this experience, you will explore the intersections of faith, practice, and community in a way that honours both tradition and personal discovery.
Whether you are drawn by Spain’s rich religious heritage or seeking a deeper understanding of your own spiritual journey, this Camino is open to all.

Financial support may be available through The Crittenden Pilgrimage Bursary for those hoping to participate and willing to share their experience.

The Crittenden Pilgrimage Bursary
The Crittenden Pilgrimage Bursary
The Crittenden Pilgrimage Bursary was established by The Rev. Jeff Crittenden and Katherine Crittenden in partnership with the United Church of Canada Foundation. Created to mark their marriage and shared commitment to pilgrimage, the bursary reflects the central role that pilgrimage has played in shaping their lives, leadership, and spiritual practice.
As longtime pilgrims and leaders, Jeff and Katherine have experienced pilgrimage as a source of clarity, transformation, and deep belonging. This bursary was created out of gratitude for those experiences and a desire to support others who feel called to undertake their own pilgrim journeys.
The bursary provides financial support for individuals engaging in human-powered pilgrimages, including walking, cycling, paddling, wheelchairing, and other embodied forms of travel. Each year, recipients are selected in collaboration with the United Church of Canada Foundation, supporting pilgrims who are ready to deepen their lives through this sacred and transformative practice.
The response to the bursary has been extraordinary. An initial fundraising goal of $25,000 has been exceeded, with more than $45,000 raised to date. This generosity ensures that the Crittenden Pilgrimage Bursary will support pilgrims for years to come, helping make pilgrimage more accessible to a wider community.
Those who wish to support this work are invited to contribute or share the opportunity with others. Every gift, large or small, helps open the way for someone to undertake a meaningful journey. All donations receive a tax receipt.
Donations can be made through CanadaHelps
Together, we walk alongside fellow pilgrims, creating pathways of transformation, step by step.
Leisure Resurrected
Leisure Resurrected
Four years of hard work and research has culminated into Leisure Resurrected written by our Co-Founder and Director, Jeff Crittenden.
As the church emerges from the impact of COVID, how will it reimagine its mission? With all the disruption COVID caused comes an opportunity for congregations. How will the local church organize itself, engage with the neighborhood and world, and offer pastoral care to a planet dealing with the significant issues heightened during COVID? Returning to old patterns of behavior is a wasted chance. A theological opportunity for the church lies in rediscovering the classical aim of leisure.
The early church during the first two centuries offers us an understanding of leisure quite unique from the dominant expressions of leisure, such as Greek schole, Roman otium, and the Jewish Sabbath. By exploring early Christian practices, we can find insights about leisure for mission today. These practices include setting aside a single day of the week to worship, sharing in a common meal open to all, and, following the meal, incorporating into nonwork time care and engagement in the health and vitality of the community in the name of Jesus Christ. The followers of Jesus were consistent, if extraordinary, in meeting weekly, on the Lord's Day, to worship, eat together, and go out into the neighbourhood to live out their faith.
