Holy Cross Church.

India, Mumbai

  Spiritual - Church


Heavenly Cross Church, Kurla is a Roman Catholic Church in Kurla, a suburb of Mumbai, India.

It was worked amid the Portuguese period by the Jesuits in 1588 and revamped in 1848.

St. Francis Xavier had composed the King of Portugal, asking for land close to the town of Kurla on Salcette Island to construct a congregation and living arrangement.

On 22 February 1570, King Sebastian of Portugal composed from Evora affirming the gift of the Villages of Bandra and Kurla, just as Saki and Mohili for the Jesuits of St. Paul's College of Goa.

This was on the grounds that Goa was the central command of the Jesuits of Asia and St. Francis Xavier was the primary Provincial Superior of India and the Far East.

On 1 November 1572 this gift was re-avowed by the Royal Court of Lisbon.
