Murmah

During the 1980s , Father Bruno used to hold and spend some time in Murmah while travelling to Mirik from Kurseong. To hold and to take rest was just an excuse as his main motive was to initiate Jesus Christ. His gradual conversations with the locals of that place touched their hearts and when they came to know more about Christ ,4 families became Catholic.

In the beginning, those families had to face many challenges but they remained firm in faith with the word of God as their stronghold. According to the words of Mr. John Rai (a faithful from Murmah)- “He was highly influenced by the Bible teachings taught by his teachers in the school. At that time, there was no one with him to explain the word of God, but he remained strong in faith. Then, Father Jellici started coming from Sonada and gradually the Catholic families also increased. Today there are a total of 13 families in Murmah.
