Gloria Church Byculla

I shot this on my mobile phone a shot from atop the bridge this is a beautiful church though I have never been in it my American friend Dr #GlennLosack stayed in a hotel in front of this church on his first trip to Mumbai to meet me .

I used to pass this way via Mustafa bazar to reach my parents graves at Rehmatabad Shia cemetery Mazgaon .

I have not been to their graves since the pandemic both lie in repose side by side .

My mother had permitted me to take Catechism in school instead of Moral Science and as Holy Name High school was attached to Holy Name Cathedral the Church had a great influence on my young mind I spend hours at the Sacristy with Fr Ratus and Fr Stephan Nazareth.

It's been over 60 years I am still connected to a few churches in Bandra .

I love stained glass windows and Church architecture.

I shot the Anglican Protestant Church connected to the Church of North India Afgan Church in army settings .

A fabulous church ...next to my school Private European School was John the Baptist Church a Methodist one .

I have never studied in a madrsa parents were poor but educated us well.

Good Morning
