Attend the Baby Steps Camino® This December

10/01/2025 

Experience Advent in motion. The Order of Malta, American Association invites you to the Baby Steps Camino®, a joyful 3-day beach pilgrimage from Jacksonville Beach to the historic Our Lady of La Leche National Shrine at Mission Nombre de Dios in St. Augustine December 12 – 14, 2025. Walk with purpose, pray with intention, and find quiet renewal as waves mark each step.

  • What to expect: Daily Mass, Confession, reflective Holy Hours, lively pilgrim socials, and guided moments of prayer along the sand.
  • Why join: Deepen your spiritual life through an ancient tradition of walking prayer while supporting awareness for the Holy Family Hospital in Bethlehem, a key ministry of the Order of Malta.
  • Flexible participation: Join for 1, 2, or all 3 days — bring a friend or come solo. On Sunday, the Bambino Camino™ offers a gentle 2.5-mile guided walk from Vilano Beach to the Shrine — perfect for pilgrims of all abilities. Non-walkers are warmly welcome to join the Shrine events that day.
