Lenten Pilgrimage to the Tomb of Fr Rajendra Swami, SJ (1672-1719)

It was indeed an exciting and inspiring as we went on a pilgrimage to Fr. Rajendra Swami Shrine.  We as one Mount St. Joseph community went to the tomb turned shrine of Jesuit Fr. Rajendra Swami. It is located in a place called Chickkaarasenakere in Maddur.  As it was a pilgrimage we maintained silence and went in a recollection mood.  We were very delighted and inspired to hear from the parish priest Fr William Pinto of Mysore Diocese about the life history of Fr. Rajendra Swami, SJ and also many miracles taken place in his name.  We took part in the Mass at the shrine thanking God for Fr. Rajendra Swami and all his good deeds as a missionary.  Thus, nourished by the Body of Christ and also praying at his tomb, we returned from our pilgrimage.
