About St Dominic Savio Church – On 8th December 1978 at 4:30pm, the Foundation Stone was laid by His Grace Archbishop Simon Pimenta. Present for the ceremony were the prominent Salesians including Fr. Aurelius Maschio-The Salesian Pioneer, Fr. Tony D’Souza-The Salesian Provincial and others.This was an auspicious Day for the Salesians as it was the golden jubilee of their work in the Province of Bombay.

In 1981 the church of St. Dominic Savio was built in the heart of the Antop Hill. “God On The First Floor” was the headline that was printed in many leading newspapers all over the country in 1981 announcing the birth of a new church at Wadala (E), Bombay. This was the first ‘L’ shaped house of worship in the city and the first to be erected on the first floor.Today, 25 years later, St. Dominic Savio parish is a large and vibrant parish with around 10,000 parishioners belonging to various communities and different cultural backgrounds.
