A a warm and holy place which support the ger district community..This chapel is under the Missionaries of Charity (Mother Theresa’s Sisters). It is about x km from UB. Before u reached this place, u can see many gers and houses built along the mountains all around..During winter, this area is worst. It will be smokey and air pollution is high. This is caused by the residents there burning woods or charcoal to keep their gers warm from the harsh winter.
The Missionaries of Charity is an international religious family founded by Mother M. Teresa, M.C. in Calcutta, India. The mission of the society is to service the poorest of the poor. They engaged in picking up strict urchins forsaken by their parents, and bringing them up with proper food, clothing, medical aid and education. There are about 6 sisters here from different countries, some are from Africa, Singapore, Korea, India & Bangladesh.
There will be some Catholic priest who visit this church every Sunday to perform Mass to the local community. According to Fr Augustine Mundackatt V C, it was in 1994 that the Catholic Mission was established in Mongolia . There are no churches in this country. It is on the official request of the Mongolian government that Catholic priests and Missionaries of Charity came to Mongolia. Many Mongolians have faith in no particular religion. Most people know nothing about Jesus Christ or the Bible.
With the love of those sisters who service the community and the love of God make this place full of hopes and warmnest in this freezing cold country.

I hope and pray that there will be more Catholic religious missionary sisters in Mongolia such as the Augustinian Sisters of Our Lady of Consolation (OSA_ASOLC) and the Religious of the Virgin Mary (RVM),both from Philippines, to assist the Baby Catholic Church in Mongolia. And also more congregations of asian priests to be present in Mongolia such as the Augustinians(OSA), Franciscans(OFM),Dominicans(OP), Discalced Augustinians (OAD), Discalced Carmelites (OCD),Trinitarians, and Contemplative sisters as well, such as the Poor Clares and the Pink Sisters
