It was rebuilt a number of times; the present structure dating to 1973. The church also served as a refuge to the popular icon of the Virgin Mary from Our Lady of the Mount chapel, Bandra from 1739 to 1761. The place is also informally known as Mahim Church due to its location, and is famed for its Novenas on Wednesdays, which is visited by thousands of devotees.
