JATH MISSION, SANGLI |
 |
|
|
The beginnings of Mission station at Jath took the embryonic form on 8th December 1999 when Fr. Siby Vadakeputhenpura started staying at Jath for preparatory survey in a rented house, Tama Koli Nivas near the bus stand Jath. Later Fr. Jose Cheriampanatt joined Fr. Siby to facilitate the efforts to start an English Medium School at Jath as decided by Planning commitee of Sangli Mission. |

| On 1st of January 2001, place of stay was shifted from Tama Koli Nivas to a house at Bhosale Vasti, Shegaeon Road, near to the proposed land for purchase. After repair and maintenance this house was made suitable for stay. Five acres of land was purchased at Bhosale Vasti for school on 25th January 2001. Rev. Sisters of M.S.M.I. Congregation came to the service of mission and a convent was inaugurated on 28th May 2001 as a branch of Chiplun convent. Their arrival boosted up the activities. Alphonsa school at Jath was inaugurated by Sarpanch of Jath Mr. Nazir Mulla and the Foundation stone was laid by Fr. Varghese Monoth for the proposed School on 18th June 2001. |  |

| In the five years of Jath Mission various ministries were taken up according to the need of time. Those activities have now bloomed into a place of diverse activities as the result of the toil, tears and sweat of the missionaries who have worked day and night. The tiny seed of Jath mission Station was sawn and nurtured under the loving care of Rev. Frs. Siby Vadakeputhenpura, Varghese Monoth, Jiji Ettany, Thomas Chirayil, Binoy Vechoopadinjarethil, Joe Kattuthara and Bros: Nalannadayil and Azhakath. Srs. Valsala Jose and Diana Jose have rendered their services to this Centre of Apostolate. Rev. Fr. Biji Kudukkamthadam, Srs. Suja, Jeena Jose, Anoopa Anto and bro: Joby Kozhippatt serve the Jath Mission today. | ||
