Holy Rosary Cathedral parish is far and wide spread, up to Pak Afghan, and Pak Iran border. It is the largest parish in area, but with a small number of faithful. The out stationed faithful are under the care of army cantonments serving according to their little capacities. These out secrets are Mastoong, Noshki, Kharan, Dalbandin, Nukoondi,Taftan, Sandak, and Punjpai, going up to Afghan & Iran Border. Infrastructure is very good, covered with huge sand dunes, dust storm are the normal weather of the region, the rote is very much risky and unsafe. Due to the continuous insurgency missionary work is very risky. But the Oblates try their level best to serve the faithful while getting introduced with the uniqueness, attractive and adorable world famous tourist spots.
