Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Bombay
May the Mother of all people bring her children to one Church of Christ.
Queen of Bombay pray for us
Update (source Wikipadia):
"The chapel of Mount Mary, was built around 1640. Lore has it that the chapel was destroyed in 1738 during a raid by Marathas. The statue of the Virgin was recovered from the sea by fishermen and temporarily installed in St. Andrew's church, before being shifted to the rebuilt Mount Mary Church in 1761. To this day, the statue is venerated and many miracles, minor and major, are attributed to the Lady of the Mount. People of all faiths and communities visit the church, giving the place a syncretic nature. The Bandra Fair is held the duration of eight days of the Octave, (starting on the Sunday following September 8) during which pilgrims come from as far North as Vasai, Virar and as far East as Thane throng the church."

WikkiMissa Alert - keep it updated
I travel quite often to different places worldwide. Till now I took advantage of the WikkiMissa webpage as a directory to find local Mass in the extraordinary form. However last Sunday I came again to the place, where the Mass was not offered at the time it should be.
It is sometimes difficult to fulfill the Sunday obligation, when the information provided on the Internet is not updated. So be careful with the data on WikkiMissa and check twice before you go to the place where the Mass should be offered. You could drive many kilometers to hear the Mass, but you will only find a closed door.
Wherever you are, please keep WikkiMissa updated. You can also do it without any logins and accesses.
It can save someone’s life – priceless, eternal life!!!

Neo Gothic Beauty
Saint Joseph church in Krakow, consecrated in 1909.
Sometimes it is better to copy previous, good stiles than to invent new. We would avoid so many buildings and churches that destroy harmony of our surroundings.
