The Pilgrimage to India is for students from Years 10, 11 and 12 and takes place in January for three weeks. The group includes students and teachers from three Perth schools, and four interstate schools. The pilgrims stay at a hotel in Kolkata and spend time at three different service placements.
These vary from the Rainbow School which is a rooftop school for street children, run by the Loreto Sisters, to homes for the mentally and physically handicapped and the destitute and dying run by Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity Sisters. Pilgrims self select their service placements after watching DVD footage and hearing firsthand accounts from past pilgrims.
