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 for a Jesuit Mission project overseas.
Once the Pilgrims 100 members have chosen the winning project each year, they will then be kept updated on the impact of their donation. There may also be the possibility of visiting the successful project at a future date.
Winning Project 2023
The winning project for this year is Choice Number 2, Cambodia: Light of Mercy (Phnom Penh) and Vietnam: Construction High Tech water filter systems for coastal residents. Thank to those who voted at the Third Annual Awards Evening.
We are pleased to share with you, program updates from the Light of Mercy Project in Cambodia and the Construction of Clean Water Systems in Vietnam that Pilgrims100 are supporting in 2023.
