The 16th community of Divya Jyoti Province, St. Chantal’s Convent was established on 11th June 2019 at Gomoh, Dhanbad in Jharkhand. Rev. Fr.

James Tharaniyil to have our presence at Gomoh in Jamshedpur diocese in order to render our service in the existing parish along with our service both in English and Hindi mediums of De Nobili schools. After a few meetings, discussions, and visiting the place, both the teams gave a final word of agreement in writing. Thus the blessing and inauguration of the convent took place on 11th June 2019."Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to the whole creation"
