Brief
History: In 2006, late Fr. Mathew Ullattil, C.S.C. bought a land in Chailengta in
view of establishing a School there. Bethany Sisters used to be frequent
visitors to this place for evangelization work.
In 2013, Holy Cross Fathers opened a School in the house premises of Mr.
Moshiram. Late Fr. Savarinathan, C.S.C. was appointed as the first Principal. In February 2014, the V.S.D.B. Sisters
arrived there to help in the Centre. In
November 2014, the School was shifted to the present premises. In 2020, the V.S.D.B. Sisters left and in
2021, as the new Parish was being established, the S.R.A. Sisters from Mumbai
Province began their second Convent at Chailengta.
The Parish was
inaugurated on 21st February 2021, in the Year of St. Joseph, and
Fr. Thomas Pereira, C.S.C., was appointed as the first Parochial Administrator.
