The newly constructed church dedicated to St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta was officially opened and blessed by His Lordship Rt. Rev. Dr. Jude Nishantha Silva, Bishop of Badulla today, on 28th September 2024. This long-awaited moment has brought immense joy to the Wewessa community, located along the Passara-Badulla Road, which falls under the parish of Badulla.
Despite its proximity to Badulla City, Wewessa lacked a church to serve the spiritual needs of its many families. The journey to construct this church faced several challenges, including securing funding and resources. However, through the unwavering dedication of Rev. Fr. Dilex Shantha, the Parish Priest, this dream has now become a reality. Today, the entire parish community celebrates this milestone with great joy.
On behalf of the Wewessa residents, we express our heartfelt gratitude to Fr. Dilex, the assisting priests, all the priest who have previously served the parish and contributed to this project and the donors.
May the love, care, and intercession of St. Mother Teresa, the Patroness of Wewessa Estate, guide us all on our journey of faith.
