    A Roman Catholic church located on a hillock at Ghormal village in Thane. It was built by the Portuguese Franciscans before 1630 and destroyed by the Marathas in 1737. This church was restored and renovated. There are more than 100 steps for climbing. It is dedicated to Our Lady of Hope. From the top, one can get a panoramic view of the creek area. There is a Muslim grave in front of the church. It's interior is small having wooden pews and a false ceiling. The Altar has a barrel vaulted ceiling along with a mural. Had attended a mass service for its feast day. It is an ideal holy place of worship for those devotees who would like to seek blessings.

    Beautiful location to hear a Sunday morning as it set up on a hill and there are stairs to reach to the top about 100+ steps. There's parking space at the base of this church. Church is a small one but simply beautiful one. When you enter you feel the calm and peace of nature coupled with good pristine air. During monsoon, this place looks even more beautiful with the surrounding turning green.

    If you happen to live in or around Ghodbunder please do visit this place. It looks and feels the way a Church has to be, nothing fancy, very simple yet very beautiful. There is something about this place, it makes your heart be at peace. It's a small church with a lot of historic importance. It looks beautiful from within, the tile work, the altar it just looks different. Unlike the jilmil jhatag that you see in churches today. It was pleasant sight. It's usually closed and there is a service once in a month. Surrounding area is clean and kept well. Oh BTW there is some Baba ka grave exactly at the entrance of the church, don't know the purpose. The watchman / caretaker will open the church in case you want to sit inside and pray. It's very peaceful. The view from there is spectacular, it has the sea on side. The only problem some of them might face is that you have to climb some 100+ step to reach there. A small cardio workout 😉

    This Place Is Super Awesome For Having Peace of Mind... You Can Relax Here Peacefully... It's Quite And Decent Place. There Are Also Great Sceneries To Watch... You Can Have Great Mind Refreshing Feeling... There Are Total 223 Steps... So You Need To Climb Those Steps If You Want To Feel The Fresh Wind On Top of The Hill... It's A Hilly Place... Going There After Evenings, is not recommended... Hope You Have a Great Experience Going There... Also Do Have a Look At The Pics...

    This church demands that you first exercise physically before spiritually by climbing 213 stairs, but all worth it for the view from the top of the hill. Mass only on 1st Sunday of every month at 10:00 a.m., but this place is ace if you just want to pray amidst nature.

    It seems to be a nice place from pics and reviews. But when one calls the mentioned landline no one answers. The number takes you to St.John the Baptist Church/Office. Thane. We are residing very close to that church and it's very convenient for us to go for our Sunday masses. We are interested in knowing the mass timings. Somebody has mentioned in his/her review that it's facing the sea. There's no sea on Ghodbunder road. It's a river.

    Away from the city ,on an hilltop approximately three centuries old known as Our Lady of Hope. People all over Mumbai Thane and Vasai Virar come for the Feast in the month of April and May. Do visit the place with your family and Relatives.
