All Saints Anglican Church in Kolkata, India

Five parishioners from All Saints Anglican Church in Peachtree City, Georgia traveled to Kolkata India in February to visit the Anglican Church of West Bengal—their ministry partner in Asia.

A highlight of the trip was a visit to Kalikapur where the Diocese maintains a safe house for orphan girls.  The delegation from All Saints also participated in the dedication of a new parsonage funded by members of the church.

In addition to enjoying the fellowship and hospitality of their friends in India, the group was able to attend a sports day as well as a wonderful cultural program put on by St. John’s  English-Medium school in Kalikapur.

All Saints welcomes any other churches in the Diocese that would like to develop a relationship with the Anglican Church of West Bengal.  Please contact Fr. Michael Fry for more information.

We are always eager to share what God is doing through and among his people, and we encourage you to send stories, news, etc., with us so we may feature and share amongst the diocese.
