| dc.description | Located in Khayriyatabad, originally, a small chapel, it was built by Fr. Malberti in 1905. The overall cost of construction of the chapel was Rs. 3,500. The present church was built under the then St. Joseph's Cathedral's Assistant Parish Priest, Fr. Xavier Roch, much later in 1954, when the seventh Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan laid the foundation. Said to be the first octagonal church in India, its main altar is in the center. Eighty feet in diameter, the church is crested by a 47 foot high octagonal dome that rises along the central altar. On either side in the front are two 40 foot high towers, also octagonal investing the church with an imposing look. The new building was completed in 1959. | en_US |
