Akbar's Church
Akbar’s Church, also known as the Church of Akbar, is the first Roman Catholic Church built in the Mughal Empire. Established in 1600 by Jesuit Fathers in Agra, it was founded on land granted by Emperor Akbar, who invited priests from Goa to learn about Christianity.
The church saw generous support from Akbar’s son Jahangir and other patrons. Though demolished in 1635 under Emperor Shah Jahan, it was rebuilt the following year with his permission. The first Holy Mass was celebrated on 8 September 1636.
Over the centuries, the church endured challenges, including looting after the Third Battle of Panipat in 1761. It was rebuilt in 1769 by Father Wendel S.J. with the help of Walter Reinhardt, and later expanded in 1835 by Bishop Antonino Pezzoni with contributions from Jean Baptiste Filose.
Today, Akbar’s Church stands as a historic symbol of faith and resilience in Agra.

A Word of Faith and Hospitality
Led by the Holy Spirit, we deepen our faith, spread His love, and serve with joy.
It is my privilege as parish priest to serve this community and walk with you in faith. Our parish is more than a church—it is a family where each person is valued, uplifted, and guided toward God. I warmly invite you to join us in prayer, fellowship, and service, so that together we may strengthen a community rooted in Christ’s love, compassion, and Gospel truth. I eagerly await the opportunity to welcome you personally into our parish family.
