FFT Fellow Ariel Laguilles, chairperson of the Modern and Classical Languages Department at Gonzaga High School in Washington DC, just returned from an extended field trip. Inspired by his fellowship, Ariel and his students navigate the ancient Camino de Santiago from France to Spain as the culmination of an elective that reflects on the history of the Camino, Ignatian Spirituality, the idea of pilgrimage, and other topics related to one of the oldest pilgrimages in the world.
