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.
