[Gocamino] Statistics

[Kathy Gower]

Rosina, do tell,

Who exactly are the Archifrada's newest members?  I mean, are they groups?  
individuals?  politicians and royalty?  For many reasons I'd love to know 
what it entails besides a lengthly application...

and, most importantly,

by all means, HaVE A SPEEDY RECOVERY and a Blesssed New Year

Hi Roger,
The up-to-date pilgrims' statistics are still being compiled by hand because
of the continuing problems with the computers at the Pilgrims' Office..
However, the private,  professional,  "informatica" firm  that was engaged 
to put
the system in  order has already begun the work. . It does seem to be a huge
job, nevertheless, since the intent is to have a computer-based hookup with 
the
Xunta albergues and with the churches of the Archdiocese.   Fr. Cebrian, who
is in charge of the undertaking,  seems to be confident that something in 
the
way of detailed statistics will be available soon.  But he possesses an
optimistic nature, and this being Christmastime, and the end of the Holy 
Year,  I
personally doubt that we shall have anything until mid-January at the 
earliest.
Naturally, I will post ipso facto whatever information comes my way.
There is going to be a big do at the Archdiocese at year's end, with an
elaborate   dinner and everything to celebrate the successful outcome of the
Universal Archicofradia of Santiago's efforts this Holy Year, and to 
introduce the
Archicofradia's new members.
I have been honored with an invitation to the celebration; unfortunately I
have a (professional) important date with a surgeon next Monday and a very 
tight
work schedule thereafter; but if I should get a cold, or something that 
would
compel a deferment of the proceedings I will certainly go, with bells on, 
and
will report on it.  (I've made reservations, just in case.... one never
knows...do one?).
It was super-cold yesterday in New York City; some 30-40 Celsius degrees
below zero, but today is nice and sunny and things are looking up.
And to answer another question, the next Xacobean Holy Years this century
will be:  2010, 2021, 2027, 2032, 2038, 2049, 2055, 2060, 2066, 2077, 2083, 
2088
and, 2094, and 2100.
Big "abrazo Navideno" (Christmas hug)
Rosina
