Getting established in Tibet in the middle of the 19th century was hard, and there were often clashes between the church and the local lamaseries. In the late 1940s, after Father Felix’s successor, Father Maurice Tourney, was killed in one such clash, the church was taken over by Lamas and remained in Tibetan Buddhist hands until 1951. In the year 1951, the new local government of Tibet liberated the church from the grip of the Buddhist grip. The church was rebuilt in the year 1980s with the government fund.
