“To go on pilgrimage is not simply to visit a place to admire its treasures of nature, art or history. To go on pilgrimage really means to step out of ourselves in order to encounter God where He has revealed Himself.”
Pope Benedict XVI
(Joseph Ratzinger)

Some People Go by Giving. You Can Give by Going.

Project Finding Calcutta organizes mission trips and pilgrimages to offer its travelers an opportunity to go on an adventure. A journey not only to a different part of the world but also into the depths of ones own heart. Experiencing different cultures is both refreshing and eye opening. Consider going on one of our unique trips.

Project Finding Calcutta organizes weekly service projects in the U.S. Your participation in one of its trips funds part of its local operations, serving the poorest of the poor in the West. By going on a Mission Trip or a Pilgrimage you are also giving the organization an opportunity to serve the local people in need.
