About St. Michael Church...

Belloor was formerly a part of Omzoor and Bantwal parishes. A thatched roof building was built in 1920 by Fr Marian S. Fernandes to serve both as a chapel and a school. The parish was formed on May 16, 1920. Fr Aloysius Marcel Pinto was the first parish priest, who built an extension to serve as the sanctuary. During his time, a granite stone foundation was laid for the new church.

Fr Paul D.G. Rego built the new church and the presbytery, which was blessed and inaugurated by Bishop Victor R. Fernandes on May 18, 1932. Fr Marcel Gregory Menezes built the church portico.....

The Bible says, “It is good to give thanks to the Lord”. Indeed, I thank the Lord for choosing me as worthy to serve Him, at this beautiful church which is dedicated to St. Michael. I feel privileged to be appointed here as the parish priest this year which also celebrated the 100 years Jubilee Year(2020) of this parish. This parish is blessed with a mixed group of people, adding color, beauty and vibrancy to the church. God’s admirable intervention in blessing us with such a beautiful and prominent place of worship wherein people can easily gather together for worship and togetherness and approach the church in their need, is a marvel in itself.
