Dhamri (Barahat) is a new mission station between Pirpainti and Lalmatia, close to Saurichakla. It was the ardent desire of Bishop Kurien Valiakandathil to start a school in this area so that the people have access to quality education. Bp. Kurien appointed Rev. Fr. Peter Goveas (Presently the Bishop of Bettiah) as the Mission Incharge. He took care of the construction and development of the place. He was the Parish Priest of Dakaita at that time. Dhamri is the place where the school is located. A few catholic families, previously part of Saurichakla and Gokhla Parish are now attached to Dhamri, Barahat, the new mission. At present, the parish consist of 77 families in 11 villages.
