BHANDARIA

A Short History: A farm land was bought by late Fr. M.M. Mathew, in Bhandaria, Nawapada in 1986 to support St. Joseph’s Boarding, Gopalpura. In 1996 Bhandaria Nawapada was separated from Gopalpura and made an independent station with Fr. Raju Zacharia as the first parish priest. A year later foreign missionary Sisters of Pondichery started a convent and a dispensary. In 1998 they left the place. In the year 2001 Sisters from the Congregation of SJSM started a convent and a TB Rehabilitation centre called “Nava Jeevan Kendra” in Bhandaria. Later in 2003 Franciscan Clarist Sisters established a prayer and retreat centre called “Vishwa Jyoti Ashram” in this mission station. Shrine of  St. Jude  started in the year 2018
