It was a dream of Fr. Adrian Bellini, the Italian Capuchin to start a mission station
at Dhamola which lies at the foot of Kumaon Hills of Nainital District. Land was
bought in view of settling the Punjabi Christian refugees. The humble beginning
by Fr. Adrian in 1967 has seen the growth and development in the place. A Hindi
primary school was opened in 1972 which today shines as one of the leading High
Schools of the Diocese. Till 1987, Holy Cross Sisters of Amaravati province were
helping in the pastoral, educational and medical activities here. Since 1988, Canossian
Sisters are continuing the same. A boarding was opened in 1990 to help the Catholic
boys to complete their high school.
