Grouping

Sub-groups have been formed to enable pilgirms to get to know each other. Each sub-group is headed by a sub-group leader who is responsible for organising events to unify his/her group. The function of the sub-groups is social in nature, but spiritual preparation within the sub-group is also encouraged. Other matters such as logistics, registration and visa are still handled by the main committee and any inquiries on these should be addressed to the main Group Leaders, Ben and Stella.
