The Christ King Church - Sahnewal
The Christ King Church, located on the GT Road between Sahnewal and Doraha, was inaugurated by Cardinal Telesphore P Toppo, president of the Catholic Bishop Conference of India on 29th August 2004.
The Church is said to be the first of its kind in the northern region in terms of its architecture, design and capacity. About 3000 people can sit in the prayer hall at a single time. The ceilings have special murals and frescoes with angels flying over it. The special work of art has been procured from Kerala. It took a lot of efforts and artistic work for a few years for the Church to be completed.
As the Christ King Church has been built to serve as a Center of Prayer for the faithful, this Church provides an opportunity to the people of the area to get together for the religious congregation. All we hoped that the message of peace would be spread from this church and people will pray here for world peace and the welfare of humanity.
