Additional information and Comments

I do not think that Cowley Fathers have a branch in Bombay, India. My understanding is that they left India in the 50s, handing over their Educational Institutions and Churches to the Church of North India. If you know of a Branch in Bombay or anywhere in India, I would like to get in touch with them. Thanks Rgds G.Jacob
the cowley fathers founded st.peter's school in bombay, mazagoan. you should be able to get some info from there i guess...
Im an ex student of St. Peters. The school was handed over by the fathers after a court order in 1954. The Cowley fathers continued to visit the school as pastors of St. Peters Chrch upto their withdrawal in 1964. They do no have any office in mumbai as of now.
