We have people belonging to different religions residing in the same place, city and state and thus their shrines as well. In Bangalore people love infant Jesus and then the need to have a church dedicated to Infant Jesus was felt. The wish was soon fulfilled by the grace of God and a pristine Church of Infant Jesus was established in the year 2005. This new place was much spacious than the old one which was pulled down in order to make a bigger shrine to accommodate large number of devotees. The new Church has a capacity of 2500 people and not to forget the car parking and sundry space. Now more people can offer prayers at one time in the church without worrying about their cars or other vehicles as the parking facility at this place is really good.
