Christ the King Parish, Hatia, stands as one of the most exemplary and vibrant parishes in the Archdiocese of Ranchi. Since its handover to the Salesians in 1979, the parish has experienced remarkable growth both spiritually and numerically – from around 1,000 faithful at the begining to over 5,000 devoted Catholics today.
The pastoral and missionary mission of the parish is carried out in collaboration with four religious congregations: the Ursuline Sisters (present before the Salesians arrived), the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (FMA), the Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo, and the Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB). In addition, the Secular Institute of the Sisters of Don Bosco, founded by Fr. Joe D’Souza, also plays an active role in the parish’s apostolic activities.
