The Diocese has 45 parishes with over 150 mission stations. The Catholic population does not have enough material and financial resources to sustain her many developing programs of evangelization; sustenance of priest and religious, training of seminarians, scholarships to children (both catholic and non-Catholics) in elementary and high schools and to sustain primary health care project for the villagers.
