Karkala-Hirgan Maria Goretti Church to celebrate Silver Jubilee on Feb 21
Karkala: In order to fulfill the religious duties of the Catholics of Hirgan, the then parish priest of Christ the King Church, Karkala Town, Fr. Immanuel D’Souza built a chapel in 1977 which was blessed by the then Bishop of Mangalore, Most Rev. Dr. Basil S. D’Souza. The Hirgan Chapel was elevated to a full fledged parish on September 16, 1991 and Fr. Cyril Pinto was appointed as the first parish priest of Hirgan. The new church building was inaugurated and blessed on December 19, 1994.
Fr. Cyprian Pinto was succeeded by Fr. Joseph Martis in 1998. He was followed by Fr. Michael Lobo who worked for the all round development of the parish. He established a school which gradually progressed into high school, junior college culminating in the degree college. . Fr. Thomas Roshan D’Souza who succeeded Fr. Michael Lobo has been looking after the development of the educational institutions while Fr. Anil Cornelio has been serving as the parish priest.
