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.
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.
Events
The chapter schedules walks, talks, potlucks and much more!
You can always email the chapter to find out what we’re doing or check out upcoming events below.
You don’t need to be a member to participate in chapter activities. However, we’d love to have you! American Pilgrims members aid our national mission to support Camino infrastructure, gather pilgrims and provide information about the Camino. Becoming a member it’s a great way to connect with your fellow pilgrims, qualify for Hospitalero training, contribute to our La Concha publication, and attend exclusive members-only events.
And when you are preparing to go, you can even order your pilgrim credential from American Pilgrims. Members receive a free credential. Non-members may order a credential for a $5 donation.
And for some inspiration, check out La Concha, our quarterly magazine. It includes updates from American Pilgrims, notes from field volunteers, pilgrim stories, poetry, art and book/film reviews.
