Few
kilometres
walk
from
Subhash
Chowk
lies
the
charming
church
of
St.
Francis.
The
church
is
draped
by
the
branches
of
deodar
trees.
One
can
see
some
of
the
finest
examples
of
glass
and
stonework
in
the
interior
of
the
church.
Each
and
every
wall
of
the
church
speaks
and
narrates
about
its
colourful
history.
The
structure
of
the
church
is
more
than
100
years
old;
still
it
looks
as
fresh
as
it
was
built
yesterday.
Known
as
the
prominent
monument
of
Dalhousie,
the
St.
Francis
Church
was
constructed
in
the
year
1894
by
the
Army
and
Civil
Officers
and
civilians.
Since
then
the
church
has
been
maintained
and
regulated
by
the
Catholic
Diocese
of
Jalandhar.
The
church
is
built
in
the
typical
British
architecture
and
bears
resemblance
to
many
famous
churches
of
England.
Nearby
the
church
is
the
residence
of
the
priest.
The
priest's
abode
is
called
'Alverna'
and
is
better
known
amongst
the
people
as
the
'Lambe
Chole
Wale
Padri
Ki
Kothi.'
St.
Francis
Church
of
Goa
is
one
of
the
chief
attractions
of
Dalhousie
and
sees
a
steady
trickle
of
visitors
all
along
the
year
especially
during
Sunday
mass.
