The South Florida Chapter of American Pilgrims is centered on Miami, Florida.
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 possibly 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 Miami area.
Please sign up for our chapter mailing list!
For other information, please contact chapter coordinators Hilda Cuglievan and Morton Friedrich at SouthFlorida@americanpilgrims.org.
We're always looking for chapter members to plan and lead hikes or to organize other events. If you would like to pitch in, please email Morton or Hilda.
