We have taken dozens of people to Calcutta. Many of us had a profound experience serving the poorest of the poor with the Missionaries of Charity sisters. Some of us did not want to end the journey upon returning, so we decided to continue it locally. In 2019, during the season of Lent, we launched Project: Finding Calcutta inspired by the encouragement of St. Teresa of Calcutta herself.
“Find your own Calcutta. Find the sick, the suffering, and the lonely, right where you are — in your own homes and in your own families, in your workplaces and in your schools. You can find Calcutta all over the world, if you have eyes to see.”
