The Centre was built with funds from parishioners of St. Otger's Parish in Stadtlohn, Germany and Chalice Canada. It was officially commissioned in January 2008 in a Eucharistic Celebration by Most Reverend Paul Bemile (Bishop of Wa Diocese) and concelebrated by Reverend Fr. Patrick Cosgrove (President of Chalice).
The Centre comprises four blocks with four large halls, three of which serve as both sleeping rooms and meeting halls. Within the Centre is another block consisting of three rooms which are the Offices of Lassia Tuolu Parish Chalice, a Catholic Sponsorship Program that supports needy pupils, families and communities. The Centre has a six-seater KVIP toilet. Water is connected from a borehole and pumped into two large polytanks. Taps are connected at vantage points to fetch the water. Electricity was connected to the Centre five months ago. The Centre has a fence wall with barbed wire.
Several activities are carried out in this Centre. They include meetings, seminars/workshops, Youth Cultural Festivals, Youth Jamborees, Commitment courses for Junior High School graduates, Youth and Adult Catechumenate Programs, Cultural Development programs, and so on.
Other programs intended to be carried out in the Centre are Guidance and Counselling for young adults, students and couples, Health and HIV/AIDS Education, Retreats, Training of untrained teaches and Remedial classes for Senior High School students and graduates.
