In the meantime the Catholic faith began to take root in another part of Nagaland among the Lotha tribe who were close to Assam In 1950 some Lotha Baptists from Lakhuti village contacted the catholic priests at Golaghat and received Baptism in April 1951 Soon it led to the establishment of a catholic community in Lakhuti village in spite of stiff opposition from the Baptists
