Historical Perspective
The inception of Don Bosco Bhavan Kuarmunda goes back to 1988. It is located at a distance of 20 kms from the city of Rourkela. The parish of Kuarmunda was created in 1988. It has eight sub-centres and looks after the spiritual needs of 6,500 Catholics. The parish church was built and dedicated as a shrine of Mary Help of Christians. Rt. Rev Alphonse Bilung declared it as the pilgrim center of the Diocese on 29th Oct 2000.
In 1993 the Don Bosco Vocational Training Institute was opened for boys and girls. It is affiliated to the NCVT and NIOS for the training. There are Hostels, Primary, middle and High schools in the center and four mission primary schools in the sub-centres, catering to the needs of 2700 children and youth from Kuarmunda and other parts of Orissa and neighbouring states.
The Holy Cross sisters collaborate with the Salesians in pastoral work, Schools, VTI and social programmes. They conduct a Hostel for the girls, dispensary and women’s development programme.
