About Us
Established in the year 1990, Our Lady of the Forsaken Church has been a spiritual home to the faithful of Malwani Colony. Our founding parish priest, Fr. Francis Xavier, laid the cornerstone of a vibrant and growing community.

Located in the heart of Mumbai’s largest suburb Malad West, our parish now serves around 300 families, united in faith, fellowship, and a deep desire to grow closer to God.
​
Our parish is a place where hearts are uplifted, and lives are transformed through prayer, sacraments, and service.
​
We warmly welcome you to be a part of our parish family—come share in our joys, graces, and mission.
