History of
the Parish :
From 1979, the Fathers from Balasore Church
were coming for the Sunday Holy Mass to the
Catholics in and around Chrampa-Bhadrak.
Most of these Catholics were either Govt.
employees or Rly. employees from other parts
of Orissa or from other States. At times
these people used to go to Balasore Church
to satisfy their Spiritual needs. In 1985
the Sisters of Handmaids of Mary from
Sundargarh(H.M) were running an English
Medium School of FACOR factory - Bhadrak in
a rented building of Facor Management.
So fathers from Balasore Parish were coming
for Sunday Mass to Bhadrak, where these
Sisters were staying and a good number of
Christians had regular Sunday Mass. On week
days fathers, Varghese, Antony, Paul, etc
were helping now and then.Due to some
reasons these H.M. Sisters left Bhadrak in
1994. In 1995 the Bhadrak was declared as a
separate civil District of Orissa. Till the
Supercyclone 1999, there was no regular care
of the Christians in and around Bhadark.At
the end of Supercyclone in October 1999,
Congregation of Mount Carmel Sisters (C.M.C)
came to Bhadrak district head-quarter and
started an English Medium School at By-pass,
Bhadrak, in a rented building. In 2000 Fr.
M.A. Balthazar was appointed as a first
residential priest-incharge of Bhadrak
Mission. He attended the Spiritual needs of
the people as well as Sisters staying in a
rented building. He was also taking care of
the Animation as well as rehabilitation of
post- supercyclone activities which was
started by BSSS.From June 2004 Fr. J. Antony
is appointed as priest incharge of Bhadrak
parish.
