About the event

To celebrate our parish feast day this year, join us as a community for a mini Ignatian-guided Camino walk with God in Creation.  

Date:                      Saturday, 26 July 2025
Time:                     4.30pm onwards
Starting point:   Route A: 7km walk - Blk 4A Ghim Moh Road
                                Route B: 3.5km walk - Botanic Gardens Bukit Timah Gate

​

This will be followed by food & fellowship from 6:30pm onwards at the Church of St Ignatius, Sacred Heart Hall.

Following in the footsteps of St Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), Finding God in all things is at the core of Ignatian Spirituality and is rooted in our growing awareness that God can be found in every one, in every place and in everything. ​​
 
Finding God in all things
This year, we are called through this mini Camino walk to pay more attention to God, to become more thankful and reverent, and through this become more devoted to God, and more deeply in love with our Creator.
 
One Community of Faith, Hope, & Love​
Our church mission is focused on being One Community of Faith, Hope, & Love. Invite family, friends and neighbours, especially those who may have stopped coming to church or who are seeking a deeper meaning in life. Let’s use this opportunity to joyfully connect with others and build up our community together.  
 
Registration is now closed. Participants who have signed up should have received an email with their team's start time and instructions.​
