The Pilgrimage
Next Pilgrimage: June 2024
In 2010 St. Aloysius began receiving visitors from the United States in late June to take part in the annual celebration of the school patron, St. Aloysius Gonzaga and visit other ministries and attractions in Nairobi. This experience is a spiritual discovery journey that takes people out of their comfort zones to be in solidarity with those that are less fortunate in another part of the world. This experience is enriched with the support of a Jesuit Chaplain, who offers spiritual reflections each day.
The next pilgrimage is scheduled for June 2024. St. Al’s Day will be on June 23, 2024. Exact dates for the trip and the 2024 brochure will be shared in late 2023. If you would like more information about the pilgrimage, please see the 2024 brochure or contact Cristine Pope at 312-834-6118, cristinepope@schoolofhopekenya.org.

Fundraise
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, and the efforts of the Board and Associates Board, we are able to raise sufficient funds to provide free high quality education, books, uniforms, meals, basic medical care, extracurricular activities and a mentoring program for 280 students. The Associate Board is made up of younger leaders working in Washington DC, Chicago, New York City, and Atlanta to fundraise for the school. For more information or to get involved in the Junior Board, please send a message to cristinepope@schoolofhopekenya.org.
