History of
the Parish :
Exploration of this virgin soil was started
by Fr. Varghese puthumattam in 1995. Against
all odds he dared to take up residence in a
simple dwelling at Sodongi near Anandpur
town in Keonjhar District. When Fr. Varghese
was transferred to Mitrapur in 1998 Late Fr.
Arul Doss was appointed as the parish
Priest. In 1999, September, 1st he was
martyred at Jaboni, one of the substations
of Anandpur. Fr. Arul Doss is ever
remembered in Andapur mission. Jaboni is
evolving to be a pilgrim centre. For a while
the mission did not have a resident priest
until 2003 when Fr. Paul was appointed to be
the parish Pres. He contuses there the
missionary activities.
