North Texas Chapter (Dallas/Fort Worth)

The North Texas Chapter of American Pilgrims serves the greater Dallas/Fort Worth Metropolitan Area and the surrounding region.

The purpose of local chapters is to keep participants connected to the Camino and to introduce new people to the phenomenon. We plan to accomplish this in a number of ways, such as social events, walks, mentoring future pilgrims and serving as a local host for hospitalero training through American Pilgrims.

• To offer opportunities for local pilgrims to gather and hold events related to the Camino.
• To mentor future pilgrims, promote the pilgrimage and American Pilgrims through social gatherings.
• To serve as a local host for hospitalero training in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metropolitan Area.

Contact chapter coordinators John Venuto, Joe Zarcaro and Kristen (Kiki) Lawson at NorthTexas@americanpilgrims.org for more information.

And while you're at it, please join our North Texas Chapter Facebook group!

• There are a thousand and one packing lists out there, but this packing list is our take on the topic.
