Church of St. Paul the Apostle (Greater Mumbai /Bombay)

Church of St. Paul the Apostle, now commonly known as "St. Paul's Church", was once the site of a diocesan seminary of the Propaganda diocese under the Vicar Apostolic of Bombay. It was separated from the parish of Our Lady of Salvation ("Portuguese Church"), "West Dadar", as a new parish in 1940, and initially was assigned to the Jesuits, but later to the diocesan clergy. Incidentally, the address of the Church was originally written "Upper Parel", a term that has fallen out of use, and the place is now variously described as being in either Dadar or Parel, or on the border between these places. The former church was demolished and the present structure built according to the "reforms" of "Vatican II" during the 1970s. However, the present structure has an acoustic problem - due to bad acoustic planning!
