In 1973 Jesuits came to Umela, Naigaon from Manikpur, St. Michael’s Parish. They laid the initial foundation for the chapel. This chapel functioned as a sub-station of St. Michael’s Church. Then in the year 2000 the Redemptorists took over the chapel and it was formally erected as a parish in the year 2001. In the past two decades Redemptorists have strived to reach out to the people with the message of God’s love.
