The new chapel in the village of Kumkuvarapalem, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, was blessed on August 10, 2017 by most Rev. M.D. Prakasm, Bishop of Nellore.The con-celebrated Mass was attended by the people of the village who offered prayers of thanksgiving for their new Chapel.  Major funding for the Chapel was realized through the generosity of a Family Foundation and  donor support in the USA and offerings from the villagers.  On the same day, a foundation stone was laid for another chapel in Bhimavarapadu village.  With the grace of God, we pray it too will be completed soon.
