Holy Cross Church, Cordel
India
The Holy Cross Church is a Roman Catholic church situated at Cordel in the Kulshekar locality of Mangalore, India. It caters to nearly 6,500 people distributed in 32 Varados (Konkani: Wards). Although the church was not yet built then, the French missionary, Fr. Alexander Dubious, commonly known by the locals as "Frad Saib" served as the first parish priest of the Cordel parish from 1873, until his death on 12 December 1877. His service to the parishioners of Cordel gave him the nickname "Fraadh Saibh of Cordel".
