Sacred Heart Catholic Church (Kyauktan)
Sacred Heart Catholic Church (Kyauktan Parish) was started by the French Fathers in 1880, but the Church was built only in 1930. This Mission is a bout 30 miles to the South-East of Yangon. Buddhism is the dominant religion, but there are also Muslims and Hindus. Catholics are only a handful. After all these years we now have some 35 families with around 250 Catholics. There are 5 Servite Sisters (OSM) helping in the Parish with the Boarding and apostolate. |
