Church History

St. Francis De sales parish (MSFS) is one of the young parish in the archdiocese of Bangalore. It was officially erected as the parish in 1984 by his grace late Archbishop Arogyaswamy then Archbishop of Bangalore.

It was a tiny parish and masses were celebrated in a farm house and then shifted to school building. It took almost 20 years to build the present New Church in the year 1998 on the 16th of August, by the then parish priest Fr. Mathew Kuzhuppakalam.
