Counted among the most pious churches lying in the Deccan region, many worshippers throng here for their obeisance to their deity every Sunday. Being situated at a very important venue lying in Secunderabad, this church is accessible from any corner of this town. Enchanting hordes of devotees, this institution remains open from 7 O’ clock in the morning till 8 O’ clock in the evening.

An electric harmonium, which was played by the officials of British at the recitation of the prayers, is equally attractive at the present time also.
