(ANS – Rangblang) –  Salesian missionaries have completed the Mawiong Chapel in Rangblang Parish, West Khasi Hills District, Meghalaya, India, thanks to donor funding from Salesian Missions in New Rochelle, NY. In this remote rural village, where families rely on farming and daily wage labor, Catholics previously lacked a proper place for prayer and liturgical celebrations. Built with the support of skilled workers and the active involvement of the local faithful, the chapel is now fully furnished with an altar, pews, liturgical items, a crucifix and religious statues, enabling regular celebrations of the Holy Mass. The chapel has quickly become a spiritual center for baptisms, prayer services and community gatherings, strengthening unity among villagers. Local leaders expressed gratitude to donors, noting that the chapel stands not only as a physical structure but also as a symbol of hope, faith and the Church’s enduring presence in the community.
