Calcutta Rescue "Sister Cyril, passed away in Kolkata on Saturday, June 24, aged 86, and our projects closed early on the day of her funeral, three days later, so that more than 100 staff could attend her funeral in St Thomas Church in Middleton Row, near where Dr Jack, CR’s founder, established his first clinic. She first got involved with Calcutta Rescue in 1996 when she was head of Loreto Day School in Sealdah.
Hugely impressed by our work, which aligned with her own deep commitment to serve the poor, she offered to let it open a health clinic for people living on the streets and slums in the grounds of the school."
