HISTORY OF THE PARISH
|
St. Paul’s Mission Station was started in 1989. Till then it was being looked after by Fr. Cyril the parish priest of Karra. Fr. Isaac Xalxo was the first resident priest of Garalodhma. Later it became a part of Dighia on account of the majority of parishioners being Uraon. The Sisters of St. Joseph of the Apparition opened here their second house in the Archdiocese in 1999. Patron St. Paul the Apostle |
