Visit of Mother Theresa and the New Dispensary

Blessed Mother Theresa laid the foundation stone for a new house and dispensary (St. Johns Health Centre) on the 11th of March, 1987. Until the construction of the new house and dispensary was completed in 1988, Brother Savio stayed in the Parish House and worked in the existing Dispensary. Fr. John Thayyil, the Parish Priest, was a great help to Brother Savio. The Sisters of St. Joseph Sevika, who live near the Parish House, also helped him, especially in the initial stages of running the dispensary and in looking after the patients.

The New House and the Dispensary

With the help of Misereor (Germany) and Indian Help Organization (Germany) the new house and dispensary was constructed on our land at Deshgaon. The house and the dispensary were completed and inaugurated on the 16th of January 1988.
