The Sisters of the Queen of the Apostles opened their Convent in July 1982 to help out in the hospital and the School. Before coming to Indara, Norbertine Fathers had worked in other two Missions namely; Baijalpur and Ratsar for 12 years.
Mirpur was a sub- station of Indara for a long time. Ursuline Franciscan sisters of Mangalore opened a house in 1977. The Parish was entrusted to the Norbertine Fathers in 1983.
With the initiation of Patrick D'Souza, Bishop of Varanasi and the Norbertine Fathers a new mission station was inaugurated on Jan. 24, 1999 at Ghosi. Norbertine Fathers are looking after the parish and the school with the kind support of the sisters of St. Anns of Trichy.
