One tireless Jesuit keeps alive a pilgrim path for St. Ignatius in Spain
MANRESA, Spain — Josep Lluís Iriberri helps celebrate Mass at a mountaintop basilica , swaps his priest's robe for a hiking backpack and rallies his latest group of pilgrims literally following him in the footsteps of the 16th-century St. Ignatius.
Iriberri is the do-it-all Jesuit who designed the pilgrimage route to honor the founder of the Society of Jesus and for over a decade has almost single-handedly kept it alive.
