    Holy Rosary Church is one of the oldest Christian installations of Dhaka, was established by Portuguese missionaries before the advent of British colonial rulers in India. There is a big open space in front of the church. If someone watches it from the opposite of the ground, it seems like a painted picture. While entering into the compound, firstly visitors will notice the Amal Ganguly memorial hall. There is a graveyard at the inner side. A big pond is also located in the east. A lot of blooming roses welcome the religious people from the garden also a statue of the crucified Jesus Christ.

    Holy Rosary Church is a Roman Catholic church in the Tejgaon area of Dhaka. Also known as Tejgaon Church and once popularly called the Japmala Queen Church. Each Sunday Catholics gather there for Sunday mass and thousands devotee join there. Portuguese Augustinian missionaries introduced Christianity in Dhaka. In 1628, they established a church, called the ‘Church of the Assumption’, in Narinda, southern part of the Dhaka city. The second church of Dhaka was built in 1677 at Tejgaon. The inscription on the pinnacle of the Church shows a date in Arabic numerals 1677, built by the Augustinian Fathers but many believe it was built in the 16th century. The Holy Rosary Church premises houses one of the two Catholic cemeteries in Dhaka. Today, the original Holy Rosary Church is set behind the large modern frontage and contains the remaining well preserved and cared for Armenian tombstones.

    Although there are so many restrictions for non christians, I love this place. Here the church and the cemetery are attached together. Christian community are broad minded like jesus. Just without a very few exceptions. I tried to buy a cross, but someone did not sell it to me, because I am muslim. And asked me to get out of the place. I felt bad. But the followers of jesus should not be racist like that man. I love jesus.

Here, The Pope meet with priests, religious and consecrated men and women, seminarians and novices in the church. And before leaving, Holy Father Francis visited the parish cemetery, blessed the cemetery and prayed briefly for those who buried here.

    I went to this church a few days ago but the guard didn’t let me in because I am not a Christian. When I asked him to talk to higher authority he consistently denied my way in, even after I told him that I am studying the bible. It's a shame that the church keeps such guards.

    One of the largest Catholic churches in Bangladesh, has its own graveyards. Its one of the oldest too. Little restricted for non Christian ( due to disrespectful activity of non Christian inside the church ground.) Architecture is also beautiful.

    Holy Rosary Church is a Roman Catholic Church in the Tejgaon area of Dhaka. It is also known as Tejgaon Church and once popularly called the Japamala Queen Church. Portuguese Augustinian missionaries introduced Christianity in Dhaka. The second church of Dhaka was built in 1677 at Tejgaon. But this one is the oldest example that can be found. It is the biggest church in Bangladesh. Under this Catholic Church has more than 20,000 Catholics. The name of present parish priest of the church is Fr. Komal Korraia. Fr. Albert T. Rozario was parish priest of this church for long time. Fr. Mintu L. Palma and other priests are serving there as assistant parish priest. Every morning at 6:00am the mass is delivered. Each Sunday Catholics gather there for Sunday mass and thousands devotee join there. Each Sunday five mass are delivered in different time. And those who are not able to join the Sunday mass two mass are offered in each Saturday at evening. The church was renovated three times. In 1714, 1940 and the last renovation was in 2000.The difference between the width of walls and the parts of the roof suggest that the eastern part of the Church was built later. The renovation of the church is a regular process.

    Holly Rosary church has been designated as the “place for prayer” in the large area. A team of people have put in nice furniture, lovely artwork, etc. But…it isn’t used except on Sunday before church or special and infrequent times of prayer. This church is often confiscated for meetings other than prayer because it is a nice, quiet setting.

    This is one of the largest Catholic churches in SouthEast Asia. Prayers are held every day early in the morning. Only on Saturdays and Sundays Prayers are held both in the morning as well as in the evening. On most Friday's Wedding rituals are performed here.

    This is the biggest church in Bangladesh. There three part. One is the main and the biggest church hall, other one is a small church which is the old one and now we call it Chappelle and third is the graveyard which is also big and most important very clean. The main building has glass frame instead of wall. If yiu enter the Chappelle ten you will find a peaceful place where you can find yourself whether you are christian or not. Everyone is welcome here.

    Beautiful Roman Catholic Church in Dhaka and probably biggest around Dhaka city. Good praying atmosphere, friendly church official, easy access, abandance of prayer service and huge numbers of Masses in Bangla and in english to suit your time frame. They have all the small groups for youngs, couples, oldies like 'Maria Sena Shangha' SSVP to name a few. There are sister's of Charity and other congregations around and even a orphan's boarding house, home for homeless sick people, schools, college, community center, of their own. The Biggest Credit Union in Bangladesh is there and community gets fantastic financial services there who are not welcomed in regular banking. Whatever I say or write, will still be less than what they offer or serve to christian community in Dhaka Thank you & enjoy visiting this beautiful church and say Thank You God keeping me alive and health!!

    One of the most fascinating churches in Bangladesh. The negative side is that some of the priests don't do their own study of Catholicism and say what the Satanic Media/Jesuit Francis tells them

    (Translated by Google) Holy Rosario Church in Tejgaon area near Farmgate in the capital. New and old, there are two churches here. The Portuguese established the old one in 18 AD. The new one was made in 1997. This is the Catholic Church. The church can be reached on foot from Farmgate. The church has long rectangular rooms with naves, aisles and aqueducts similar to those of the Basilican church. The angle of the house is actually a small square. On the east side there is a hollow tower covered with copula at the front corner. On this tower was a sculpture commemorating the wonderful combination of Christian and Mughal elements. (Original) রাজধানীর ফার্মগেইটের কাছেই তেজগাঁও এলাকায় হলি রোজারিও চার্চ। নতুন এবং পুরোনো, দুটি গির্জা এখানে আছে। পর্তুগীজরা পুরোনোটি ১৬৭৭ সালে প্রতিষ্ঠা করেছিলেন। আর নতুনটি তৈরি করা হয় ১৯৯৭ সালে। এটি ক্যাথলিক চার্চ। ফার্মগেইটে এসে পায়ে হেঁটেই পৌঁছানো যাবে এ গির্জায়। গির্জাটির লম্বা আয়তাকার কক্ষ রয়েছে যাতে ব্যসিলিকান গির্জার অনুরূপ নেভ, আইল ও পরিচল পথ রয়েছে। গৃহকোণটি প্রকৃতপক্ষে একটি ছোট বর্গক্ষেত্র। পূর্বদিকে সম্মুখভাগের প্রতিকোণায় কপুলা আচ্ছাদিত ফাঁপা বুরুজ রয়েছে। এই বুরুজের উপর খ্রিষ্টান ও মোঘল উপাদানের অপূর্ব সংমিশ্রণের স্মারক একটি ভাস্কর্য ছিল।
