Annual Gathering of Pilgrims
American Pilgrims on the Camino hosts an annual Gathering of Pilgrims in a different location each year.
The Gathering is an opportunity to share experiences, to support one another and learn more about the Camino and the pilgrimage experience.

2025 Gathering
How’s It Going, Eh?
A team of volunteers from the Canadian Company of Pilgrims and American Pilgrims on the Camino have been hard at work preparing for the 2025 Gathering of Pilgrims. It is planned for May 15-18, 2025, on the beautiful campus of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The theme for the Gathering is “Bridges of the Camino - Connecting Cultures and Hearts,” which seems particularly fitting given the collaboration between our Camino associations in the United States and Canada, as well as the many international speakers and entertainers contributing to this year's Gathering.
Plan ahead and save the date. Registration for this special event will begin in early January 2025, and a separate reminder email will be sent to members prior to registration opening. We hope to see you there!
Gathering Details
Full registration at the Gathering includes all plenary and breakout sessions, entertainment, receptions, lodging, and meals (Thursday dinner through Sunday breakfast). Commuter registration options will be available as well. There's a wonderful program planned with something for everyone.
2024 Gathering
The 27th Annual Gathering of Pilgrims was held from Thursday, March 7 to Sunday, March 10, 2024, at Mo-Ranch Presbyterian Assembly in Hunt, TX (about 90 miles northwest of San Antonio). The theme of the 2024 Gathering was Rhythms of the Way: Lighten Your Load.
Three hundred pilgrims from 40 states and six countries came together to share, find inspiration and immerse ourselves in the spirit of the Camino.
Our program for 2024 included informative and insightful presentations for first-time pilgrims and veterans with multiple Caminos logged. We welcomed back Lynn Talbot, Maryjane Dunn, Lisa Signori, Carlos Mentley, Kathy Kehe and Adam Wells. Our Dutch, Spanish, Canadian and Norwegian colleagues gave delightful presentations. We had a walk to our own Cruz de Ferro on Saturday morning. Musical guests included pilgrim favorite Dan Mullins, The Western Flyers, Dr. Kristina Jacobsen and Dair Obenshain, and a reunion of the Merry Band of Pilgrims!
