★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very peaceful inside but not modernised with the times. One of the oldest church of Kolkata and was frequented by many in the days of British rule.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This church is located on #LeninSarani very near to #Dharmatala, this church was built in the years 1832-1834 . It also has an #educational #institute attached to it. In the evening one can find a #motleygroup of #teenagers playing #basketball on the basketball court inside the church premises. It’s a good sight.Since the church is situated on the #busy lenin sarani, most of the time the #entrance is hardly #visible. It was late Tuesday evening, i was #loitering around #esplanade. Noticed the #spireofthechurch from traffic & vendors blocking the entrance. Entered the #reveredgates & #peacefelluponme. Slowly walked up to the #chapel where a #motleygroup of #followerswerepraying. #Offeredmyprayers & #steppedout. #Kolkata the city has so many things, it's difficult to share at one go.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a well known church of Kolkata. It's located at the heart of the city. The atmosphere is very peaceful and is a great place for Christians. The church has a basketball court which is quite big and most of the schools which are located nearby have their regular practice in the court. Many Christian occasions like advent mass and first Friday mass are held over here. Here wedding occasions also held. In Christmas this church gets lit up with colorful lights. Altogether this a very good place where one can feel a great positive spirit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Sacred Heart Church was established by one Mrs. Pascoa Barettoe Souza in fulfillment of a vow of hers. The construction of this Gothic building took 2 years to complete, & it was thrown open as a Roman Catholic Church for the native Portuguese community in 1834. The church was renovated in early 1970s. I walked in the church, the prayer chamber is separated from the outer chamber by a grille & a door. When I reached the priest was leading a prayer, there were only two nuns & three devotees singing along with him. The prayer was sung very melodiously, the tenor rising & falling alternatively, the high bass of the priest’s voice merging with the sweetness of the nuns. I waited in the outer chamber for the prayers to end, observing the customs & manners all this while. Small benches & some chairs were the only furniture in the small outer chamber, several idols adored the walls & medallions depicting the life & struggle of Jesus hung from nails around the room. In the end, the priest closed his prayer book & kept it adoringly in a small curtain-covered cupboard in the wall behind the altar, the nuns went individually to each devotee, they seemed to know each other personally since the nuns called the visitors by name, & placing a hand on each person’s head they recited small couplets.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Located at Dharamtalla area, nearby Tipu Sultan Masjid, SACRED HEART CHURCH is one of the oldest churches in Kolkata whose foundation stone was laid in the year 1832 and is built in gothic style architecture.
The main church hall is in first floor while there is a small chapel on the ground floor.
Its a place of peace and heavenly tranquility where one should commune with CHRIST with devotion and faith.
