Miscellany
One tiny bit of information available is that, the Church was renovated in 1948 at a cost of Rs. 21,000/-, of which around 70 % of the cost was met by the parishioners’ contributions.Another bit of information is that the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary in our Church today was brought from Poinsur Church (when?) and kept in our Church and declared as its Patroness,according to tradition. But there is absolutely no documentation or information about who composed and set to music the melodious colloquial Marathi song ” Aunkwari Mariae “ (printed elsewhere in this Souvenir) which is sung during the nine day Novena preceding the Parish Feast on August 15.
