Holy Family Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic church located at Maulana Azad Road, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India. It was established in 1896 by Msgr. Winkley MHM.[1][2][3] Before the Curia moved to Jammu on 23 December 1986, the parish served as a cathedral when the Curia was in Srinagar.[4] Holy Family Catholic Church and All Saints Protestant Church are the two main churches for the minority Christian community in the city.[2]

Arson and reconstruction

The church was set on fire on 7 June 1967 by protestors demonstrating against the Arab-Israeli war.[5][6][7] During the arson, the belfry was destroyed.[5][6][7] The church was rebuilt,[7] and in 2017 a new church bell, which was donated by an Indian Christian family and made in the Indian city of Moradabad, was installed at Holy Family Catholic Church.[6] This occurred in an interfaith service, in which Christian, Muslim, Hindu and Sikh clergymen assembled “to jointly ring the new bell for the first time in the past 50 years”.[7]
