After walking 250 miles of the El Camino in the summer of 2024 David was called to return so he could give back to a school that he and his wife put their five kids through. They have been members of the parish for thirty-five years, and a member of the Knights of Columbus for six years. The Annunciation school and the parish are like an extension of the Hernandez family. This is the root of David’s motivation to return to the Camino, but this time it’s for a great cause, to help and support the growth of Catholic education.

Footsteps of Faith is a spiritual pilgrimage and fundraising initiative. David and Deacon Ken are dedicated to walking the 500-mile Camino de Santiago (French Way) to support Annunciation and Catholic schools in need. Rooted in the rich tradition of Christian pilgrimage, we believe that the Camino is a powerful symbol of faith, perseverance, and renewal. Our journey is not only a personal act of devotion but also an opportunity to invite others into a mission of generosity and transformation.
