One of the oldest churches in Mumbai, this whitewashed Portuguese-founded Catholic church in Bandra dates back to the early 17th century. Its simple facade, wooden interiors and old cemetery reflect the East Indian Catholic community that has long lived in the coastal suburb. A quiet spot away from the busy promenade, the church holds regular services and preserves a village-like calm amid the surrounding development. Its long history makes it a notable landmark of Bandra's colonial and Christian heritage.
