Other English-speaking Pilgrim Associations

In the USA and Canada:

If you're in North America you may like to visit the site of our fellow organisation in the USA, a new "open entity", American Pilgrims on the Camino which came into being in 2004, and which takes over, by agreement,  from "Friends of the Road to Santiago" (whose website remains in being); they are organising a series of Pilgrim Gatherings across North America, and their listserve address is gocamino@oakapple.net.  For Canada go to The Canadian Company of Pilgrims.

In Australia and New Zealand:

If you're in Australia you may like to contact the Australian Amigos del Camino de Santiago, e-mail hannan*werple.net.au. Also, Ines Jewell ines_j*bigpond.net.au is glad to offer e-mail advice to fellow Australian pilgrims.

For the benefit of CSJ members in Australia, we now have a separate page on this site for Australian pilgrim events.

We now (June 2008) have a page for New Zealand pilgrims. Please contact David Ryan drryan*woosh.co.nz who has offered to make a start on coordinating information (and maybe, eventually, activities) for New Zealand pilgrims.

To reduce spam, we're gradually removing direct e-mail links from the site. To use the above addresses, copy them into your normal e-mail programme, but REPLACE THE '*' WITH THE COVENTIONAL '@' BEFORE SENDING YOUR MESSAGE.
