Our Lady of the Rosary, Nossa Senhora do Rosário, welcomes you to embark on a journey of spiritual blessings at the historical and hallowed Basilica of the Holy Rosary, popularly known as Bandel Church. The sanctuary, built in 1599 and declared a Basilica on November 24, 1988 by John Paul II, is endowed with a sacred shrine at the balcony devoted to Our Lady of Happy Voyage.
Bengal’s oldest Church! It’s every stone unfolding a page of history!
Rev. Fr. John Chalil SDB, Prior
"Totus tuus ego sum,
et omnia mea tua sunt.
Accipio te in mea omnia.
Praebe mihi cor tuum, Maria.
"I belong entirely to you,
and all I have is yours.
I accept you for my all.
O Mary, please give me your heart."
