A Short History of Gorakhpur - Nepal Mission

The Little Flower Province had the privilege of engaging itself in Missionary activities in Gorakhpur and Varansi areas since 1970. Very Rev. Fr Basilius Panat, the Founder of the Little Flower Congregation, was very keen to launch out into the deep and to work for the spreading of the Kingdom of God especially in North India. He himself with the then the Superior General Very Rev Fr Seraphin Parambi undertook extensive and tedious journeys to North India in the years 1969 and 1970 to find out the possibilities of taking up Mission areas for the Congregation.
