Pilgrims 100
Pilgrims 100 is an inspiring initiative launched by St Ignatius' Norwood parishioners, alumni and friends in 2020 in conjunction with Jesuit Mission.
It is a group of like-minded people who want to multiply the effect of their donation and see its direct impact on a worthy project.
It is a very simple concept with 100 members donating $1,000 each with the goal of raising $100,000 each year for a Jesuit Mission project overseas.
