Festal joy overwhelmed at Bola on 06 May 2018 as the Bishop of the Diocese, Most Rev Dr. Aloysius Paul D’Souza visited St. Lawrence Parish, for the pastoral visit. This visit was combined with the conferring Sacraments of the First communion and Confirmation. The Parishioners and children were well prepared to receive the shepherd. The bishop made the visit very interactive as he spent time with the faithful before and after the solemn Eucharist. The day began with bishop catechizing the parish community. During the solemn Eucharist 13 children received the Sacrament of First Holy Communion and 53 boys and girls received the Sacrament of Confirmation. After the Eucharist bishop interacted with the pastoral and various parish associations and visited the sick in the parish.  Bishop expressed enthusiasm about Claretian Missionaries rendering the service at this remote place of the diocese with much vigour.
