St.Vincent's Church, Velpur belongs to the diocese of Vijayawada, Andhra Pradhesh. It is situated 20kms away from Vijayawada. This station was entrusted to us in the year 2004. It is entrusted to us for 25 years which can be renewed. The Province sent Rev. Fr. John Pottenkuzhyil CM who has been a missionary in Andhra Pradesh to this new mission station. From the year 2004 to 2006, Fr. John was serving this Parish staying at our house, Vincentian Nilayam, Enikepadu. Now Fr. Joji Merlu is serving this parish community. This parish has 150 families and also one substation under its jurisdiction. The parish has 12 units. The parish is dedicated to Sacred Heart of Jesus and the feast is celebrated on April 30 every year. The catholic faith is nurtured and nourished through catechism for the children, pious associations for the youth, women and men, daily Holy Mass, frequent unit prayers and family visits etc. The F.C.C sisters' community situated 4kms away from the parish, render their valuable service in the field of catechism.
