From March 7-10, 2024, 300 pilgrims converged at Mo-Ranch in Hunt, TX, for the 27th Annual Gathering of Pilgrims hosted by American Pilgrims on the Camino. Pilgrims came from 40 U.S. states and six other countries to reminisce, reconnect with familiar faces, forge new friendships, and share insights and perspectives on the Camino and the pilgrimage experience.
Attendees were invited to share their photo highlights from the Gathering and did they ever deliver! How do you capture 200 photos shared over four days? Martin Peña, American Pilgrims Communications co-chair and Annual Gathering planning committee member, found a way. Enjoy this 2024 Annual Gathering megamix photo montage available on the American Pilgrims YouTube channel. (Don’t miss the last 30 seconds!)
Thanks to all who shared their Gathering photos for this highlights reel. Thanks also to those who shared their pilgrim enthusiasm, insights, and talents across nearly 50 sessions throughout the four days. Special thanks to Annual Gathering Co-chairs Dave Donselar and Tom Coleman and the entire planning committee for coordinating such a well-rounded, pilgrim-spirited program.
