"The Kothapallimitta Companionship: Changing lives, Opening hearts, Sharing faith and Supporting education"

The Kothapallimitta/St. Peter’s/St. Alban’s Companionship, now in its eighth year, continues to be a highly active and successful program, linking our parish, St. Alban’s Oakland, and the Church of South India pastorate of Kothapallimitta.

Kothapallimitta is a severely impoverished, oppressed community on the other side of the world to whose people we have been able to offer financial help and, even more important for all concerned, the knowledge that we are brothers and sisters with much to learn from each other.
