It was a long felt desire of Bishop Anthony Fernandes to start a mission station
at Jaspur. To his invitation, Fathers of the Congregation of Carmelities of Mary
Immaculate responded. The CMI Fathers in July 1998 purchased land in Kishanpur village,
about 4 km. away from the township of Jaspur and a temporary residence was blessed
on 19th March 1999. Fr. Yesu Das was the first pioneer of this place. The objective
is to establish an educational institution and to carry out pastoral, evangilical
and social activities in the surrounding villages. The Sisters of Destitutes (D.S.)
are helping in the missionary activities of the place.
