Hello Eric, Indeed it’s very sad news given by Eric, about the Carnac Road Chapel. It was the most frequented chapel for me during my three years residence in Mumbai, just next to Metro Cinema. As it was a walking distance, I can say equal walking distance also to Our Lady of Dollars, but preferred to this chapel, I will certainly miss it on my trips to mumbai.
Thanks for bringing this information. Atleast I wont be shocked when I land in Mumbai.

It was not a Parish, but the School's chapel filled in for generations of Marine Line - Crawford folk, specially the 8 am Choir Mass. I have learnt that the Jesuit fathers have shut it's doors, a response to falling attendance: most Crawford Market catholics have now moved on. It had been magnificently renovated in the early 60's: at the helm of inspiration/design/architecture was Basque native, Rev. Molinet - he had taught us french. It would never have happened, however, without the Barcelona duo, Bro. Munoz and Bro. Hernandez, master craftsmen who never appeared to put their chisells down. I really meant to remember the Choir, doing this today. My eyes well at the memory of the guys swinging out ' we pray to God and for his mercy, --- - to thee we bring our joys and sorrow ----', Ignatius Day's 'Noble Night', and always, the National Jana Gana Mana ! Thank you so much, the late Conductors Paul Frank, Victor Coelho, solists Trevor Taylor/Stanley Pinto, not to omit the Director, the Rev. Bonet. eric. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
