DON BOSCO YOUTH & EDUCATIONAL SERVICES, BARIATU
Archdiocese of Ranchi
St. John Bosco – 2003
Historical Perspective
Don Bosco Youth and Educational Services, Ranchi (DBYES) was blessed and inaugurated on 2nd February 2003. With nearly half the institutions of our province situated in Chotanagpur region, it was one of the dreams of the newly erected province to have an effective youth animation centre in Ranchi the capital of Jharkhand, that will reach out to the youth of the whole region. It was also the dream of His Emminence Telesphore Cardinal P. Toppo, Archbishop of Ranchi, who helped us with land in Bariatu, besides his pastoral encouragement and support. The construction of the Centre was delayed due to legal problems. The first phase of the building was completed under the care of Frs. Charles Lobo and Henry Kunrawat of Kokar. Fr. Johny Padinjareparampil was its first Director. In his dynamic and inimitable style he has laid a solid foundation for the centre and has reached out to almost 1500 youngsters and over 500 teachers and youth animators through the empowering and capacity building animation programmes. The centre is also envisaged as a media centre providing literature and audio-visual aids for catechesis and youth animation in Hindi. It also houses the editorial office of Don Bosco, the Salesian Bulletin in Hindi. The house is attached to Don Bosco Kokar. In 2007, the parish of Bariatu was entrusted to our care. Fr. Liberatus Bara was its first pastor.
