On the side of the road heading south, on the banks of the river flowing from the north, amidst lush greenery and in a serene environment, stands the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Shamboor, attracting everyone with the beauty of nature.
This church, with a history of approximately 25 years, was once part of the Borimaru Church. During the centennial year of Borimaru Church in 1993, when a request was made to the Bishop, Rev. Peter Fernandes suggested that it would be feasible to build a chapel for the two wards of the Shamboor area. With new enthusiasm, the entire community of Shamboor prepared the suitable site and plan for the chapel and submitted the request to the Bishop, accompanied by Fr. Peter Fernandes.
Considering this request, Rev. Bajil D'Souza approved it. Mr. Louis Crasta and Mr. Anthony Monis donated the land for the establishment of the chapel. Initially, a small hut-like structure was established, and masses were organized there. Gradually, in 1991, the construction of the chapel building began. The following year, a building was completed, and on February 1, 1994, the Bishop inaugurated the chapel. Subsequently, religious activities were systematically conducted here every Sunday.
Eventually, on February 6, 1996, the church building was unveiled. The people, with continued religious fervor, once again requested the appointment of a parish priest from the Bishop. The approving Bishop appointed Rev. Fr. Stany Lobo on May 23, 1998, officially declaring the chapel as a church. Since then, the devotees here, undeterred, have joined hands in developmental activities, transforming this once barren place into a beautiful site and building a better life.
