The Virgin Of The Poor Church
Church History
Fr. Francis Siluvai SJ started the centre in Kalna in 1963, from which communication was easier. Kalna became a parish in 1967, while the Bambina Sisters who had been visiting the villages of the area opened a convent and girls' hostel in 1966 and an English Medium school in 1983. Fr. Mangal Das SJ during the two decades he spent as the Parish Priest of Kalna, built up a literate community and made the Church present among the Santals of the area through a whole range of hard work with the assistance of Catechists, Brothers, Sisters and his former students.
