Ambaulim's New Church

Ambaulim's New Church
It was like a dream come true for the Catholic community of Ambaulim in Quepem; when recently a spacious new church building was consecrated to Our Lady of Lourdes. With the small chapel elevated to the status of a church in 1956 unable to accommodate Ambaulim's steadily increasing flock of faithful, the present parish priest Fr Luis Coutinho took upon himself to concretise the plans envisioned by the former vicar Fr Jose Aureliano Pires. With the whole-hearted co-operation and support of the church committee and parishioners who laboured voluntarily in the construction work, the edifice was completed in two years.
