Parish, Pitra was inaugurated on 8th August 2021, during the silver
jubilee year of the diocese, by Most Rev. Lumen Monteiro CSC DD, becoming the
24th parish. The Killa zone which was in Tuikarmaw parish, with five
mondolis, was attached to Sacred Heart Parish, Bishramganj in September 2007 by
Bishop Lumen. The area developed and the number of mondolis increased
especially among the Molsom community. At present there are 18 mondolis in all.
New areas have been added as a large part of Matabari block and a small portion
of Kakraban block have become part of the parish. The Catholics belong to
Jamatia, Molsom and Koloi tribes. The Don Bosco School at Pitra, which was
established at Pitra in 2013, has grown to a Secondary school with students up
to Class X. MSMHC sisters have been looking after the school from its
inception. The Don Bosco School in Udaipur, run by the MSMHC sisters, also
belongs to this parish.

Brief
History:
Don Bosco School, Udaipur is owned and run by the Missionary Sisters of
Mary Help of Christians. The inception
of Don Bosco School on 29 September 1998 was a milestone in the history of
Udaipur being the first Catholic School for Boys and Girls. We follow the
inspiration of Venerable Stephen Ferrando, S.D.B., our Founder, who exhorted us
to “Educate children and the young with special care by means of different
kinds of schools”. The first academic
session was launched on 15 February 1999 with classes Nursery to II with 58
students and 9 Teachers on the rolls.
The School is affiliated to C.B.S.E. Board.
