St. Alphonsa Church

1984 onwards Malayalam Mass was conducted on certain Sundays in Our Lady of Purification Church, Uran by Rev. Fathers from Kalina. After the inception of the Diocese of Kalyan, Msgr. Thomas Thalachira visisted Uran Church in December 1988 and celebrated Holy Mass for members of 6 families of Syro-Malabar community. In February 1989, Fr John Madukolil was appointed as the co-priest incharge to look after the spiritual needs of the faithful.
