| Infant Jesus Church |
 The
Church has a long history of sacrifice and devotion from the time
it was first conceived by Fr Paul Kinatukara in the sixties. In April
1970, the foundation was laid by Rev.Dr.Lourduswamy, the then Archbishop
of Bangalore, with absolutely nothing to get started.
It was Fr. L. Peter who set out on a daunting mission to establish
the church on a firm footing. Persisting faith and courage prevailed
and finally the present church was opened in the year 1979, despite
gruelling obstacles. The most noticeable feature of the church is
the secular nature of the devotees.
