Padrithana was the pioneer mission place of central India back from 1865 . Here in the top of the hill a huge Cross was erected in the year 1933. On the day of feast of the exaltation of the Cross on September 14th, there is a pilgrim walk organised from Butibori to Padrithana church. it is 12 kms distance. The parishners from near and farplaces joined together to make a prayerful pilgrimage. All the way we were praying the Way of the Cross and Rosary. From our Butibori community, we too participated and received graces from the Lord. It was a good faith experience and as well  witness. In the afternoon the Archbishop of Nagpur Rev. Dr. Abraham  presided over the Eucharist. Long live Cross of Christ our Saviour!!!
