  • Come down the main road from Mumbai to the circle and take a right turn. The Shrine is opposite the Airport - So ask for the shrine as that is the main landmark. Say the one day novena 9 times- it is good to start at 5 Am in the morning
  • Visit in a Day - You can visit the shrine in a day from Mumbai. Board a 5.30am or 5.45am Neeta Volvo bus from Andheri East (Bisleri) alight at Church stop(opp Shrine) by 11.30 am, attend the 12 pm mass with Novena,spend some time for Prayers/Thanksgiving/Pettitions. You have a return bus back to Mumbai which halts for pick up outside the gate of the shrine at 1.45 or so, reaching Mumbai by 7 pm at Andheri east. You need to book your return ticket in advance, so the pick up is fixed, as the bus only halts on request.. Hope this is helpful for a days tour.
