A group of volunteers from the Archdiocesan Office for Human Development travelled to Amritsar, India, to participate in a mission trip focused on serving the marginalized and underprivileged.
From November 22 to December 1, a group of volunteers went on a mission trip to Amritsar, Punjab, India .

During their time at Pingalwara, the volunteers were warmly welcomed by Dr Inderjit Kaur, the Patron President of the societ
