Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church

This village is situated about 73 miles north of Yangon and it is on the Yangon-Pyay Highway. There are 363 houses with 1877 people – Buddhists, Baptists, and Catholics. Out of 363 houses, 65 are Catholics, 50 are Baptists and the rest are Buddhists. One Buddhist monastery, one Baptist church, and one Catholic Church color beautifully this village. The Good Shepherd Sisters are also working here together with us. The speciality of the Catholics here is that they are the descendants of the Portugese, who came to Myanmar in nineteen century.
