Refreshing Old Memories:
14 years ago on this day (18th November 2004), Seva Kendra Calcutta's Extension Centre at Kharagpur was inaugurated by Archbishop Lucas Sircar SDB and it was named after St.Jude.
This was the wish of Mrs. Clare Gordon, an Anglo-Indian lady of Kharagpur who moved to the United States after Independence. It was in the year 2001 that she met Fr. Reginald in Kharagpur and offered to start a center for the social work in Midnapore. It was with her financial support, that a plot of land in Jholi, Kharagpur, near the Hijli station was bought. Fr. John Noronha, when he was the Director of Caritas India helped in the construction of the first building. Later on, the office structure was put up with the support of Manos Unidas.
