Assisi Nilaya, Moodbelle, Mangalore

 This is a pre-postulancy house. The students attend a parish pre-university college. This house was given by a local Catholic to use for ten years. It was built to be a Hospital but did not work well. Many others also tried to carry out some ministry here but not succeeded. Through the good books of one of the friars the donors agreed to give the house for the use of Formation. it is a big house and very well constructed. The friars were praying that the donors would give them as a gift. But it did not happen. The lord was generous enough that He sent another Local Catholic who donated one acre of land....where a new house is built and very soon it will blessed and inaugurated.
