Responding to the pastoral and spiritual needs of the Catholics in the vast residential areas in and around Banaswadi, the Pallotine Fathers and Brothers of the Community of Pallotti Nilaya, Chelikere, volunteered to organise and develop this area into a parish and construct a church as the spiritual centre of the ever growing Catholic community. The initial efforts for the realization of this goal were begun with the consent and encouragement of the administration of the Prabhu Prakash Province of the Pallottines in India and with the permission of His Grace, MoSt.Rev. Alphonsus Mathias, the Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Bangalore.
