# Kumkuvarapalem Chapel Consecrated August 10, 2017

August 10, 2017 · Admin

The new chapel in the village of Kumkuvarapalem, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, was blessed on August 10, 2017 by most Rev. M.D. Prakasm, Bishop of Nellore.The con-celebrated Mass was attended by the people of the village who offered prayers of thanksgiving for their new Chapel.  Major funding for the Chapel was realized through the generosity of a Family Foundation and  donor support in the USA and offerings from the villagers.  On the same day, a foundation stone was laid for another chapel in Bhimavarapadu village.  With the grace of God, we pray it too will be completed soon.
