St. Michael's Church is one of the oldest Catholic churches in the Mahim suburb of Mumbai (Bombay), situated at the junction of LJ Road and Mahim Causeway. Initially known as San Miguel in Portuguese, the original structure was built by Franciscan missionaries of the Portuguese Church in 1534 AD, in what was then the Bombay and Bassein province. 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.
