RANCHI
Pope Pius IX solemnly defined the dogma of the
Immaculate Conception on 08.12.1854. In 1858 Our Lady appeared to
Bernadette Soubirous at Lourdes and gave here name as 'The Immaculate
Conception'.
The golden jubilee of the definition was celebrated
throughout the world in 1904. The Archdiocese of Calcutta decided to
build a Church in Ranchi as a memorial of the golden jubilee in honour of
the Immaculate Conception.
Fr. Sylvain Grosjean, S.J. who was then the Rector of
Manresa House Ranchi, got plans made on the model of a Church in Arlon
Belgium. Br. Alfred Lemoine, S.J. was put in charge of the building
work. Archbishop Brice Meuleman S.J. laid the foundation stone on
20.05.1906. It took more than three years to complete the
Church. On 03.10.1909 the solemn blessing was performed, in the
absence of Archbishop Meuleman, by Mgr. urth, Bishop of Dhaka.
On 25.05.1927 the Diocese of Ranchi was created with St.
Mary's as the Cathedral. Bishop Louis Van Hoeck, S.J. took
possession of it on 30.06.1928.
Sixty years later, 1988, saw the beginning of major
repairs, renovations and beautification. On 07.11.1993, centenary of
the death of Father C. Lievens, his Sacred Mortal Remains were deposited
in the Ranchi Cathedral.
