The story

The Church of Our Lady of Health at Cavel, in Mumbai, is a Roman Catholic church of the Archdiocese of Bombay. It began in 1794 as a chapel built by the Portuguese, at a time when it fell under the Padroado jurisdiction.

When the old chapel started to decay, a new church took its place in 1812, and this was remodelled in 1971. In front of the building stands a grotto with a statue of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, described as a beautiful feature of the site.
