St. Gonsales, Vasai
St. Gonsales Garcia Ashram is an orphanage for about eighty boys between the ages of four and eighteen. There is also a school attached for some of these boys and many boys and girls from the local community. It was founded in 1926 by two Franciscan brothers and is attached to about five acres of land, which is used for farming and water-gathering, plus a rudimentary cricket and soccer pitch for the children.
