During his mission tour around Ajmer, Fr. Daniel contacted a few people around Singarchauri village and probably instructed and even perhaps baptized them In 1903, a school under the charge of Fr. Ferdinand was started for the poor students. But in 1904, fearing caste problems, the parents withdrew their children from the school. In 1907, probably, the school was closed down.
Fr. Simon who had arrived in India In 1909 and was at Khurda, was asked to take over this place and restart – the apostolic her Ft. Simon, discerned, that the best way to work here was to settle among the people, so he settled down in Singarchauri on 4th of April, 1912.
The work of evangelization here among the people was started by the great pioneers like Fr. Daniel, Fr. Augustine who visited Singarchauri. Later when Fr. Simon came to work, he thought differently. Fr. Simon thought the best way to evangelise here, was to live among the people. In 1913, Fr. Simon bought a plot of five bighas at Bhatta and went to settle there with his chosen Christians. Even though the haressments due to the caste system were strong Fr. Simon carried on his evangelizing work according to his own method.
The tweleve houses built by Fr. Simon were blessed on 29th April, 1932. In July 1939 the Prabhudasi sisters opened a Hindi medium school for the children, which was named as St. Theresa’s School, and in 1946 opened a dispensary which has now developed as the Holy family Hospital. In 1958, the Mission sisters opened the Sophia Hindi Medium School for girls.
