The present stately Cathedral is dedicated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. The construction work was begun in 1846 by Rt. Rev. Dr. Joseph Anthony Borghi, OFM Cap, the Vicar- Apostolic of Tibet-Hindustan and was solemnly blessed by him on January 1, 1848. The architect of the Cathedral was Rev. Fr. Bonaventure, an Italian from Florence.

In 1857 the Church was extensively damaged during the First War of Independence. The magnificent High Altar which was donated by Messers John & Co. was consecrated with great solemnity by the Most Rev. Dr. Gentili, OFM Cap., in December 1899. The beauty of the Church was further enhanced by paving its floor with white and black marble slabs and replacing the six plaster altars at the side with marble ones.

The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception had been renovated in 1986, in preparation for the Centenary Celebration of the establishment of the Vicariate Apostolic of Agra into a Metropolitan See by the letter of the His Holiness Pope Leo XIII 'humanae salutis auctor' dated 1st September 1886. The work began in March 1986 by Fr. Thomas K.C., the then Parish Priest and with guidance of Archbishop the Most Rev. Dr. Cecil DeSa, entire ceiling and the entire Church building and four pictures of the Stations of the Cross (9, 10, 11 & 12) in the Church were painted, which were totally damaged. The Church had a gorgeous new look. In addition to this, a well-designed boundary wall was built around the Grotto.

The oval-shaped and well designed boundary wall built around the Akbar's Church, added a royal look, befitting to the donor and the illustrious benefactor of the Mission in the sixteenth century, Akbar the Great. The Cathedral has been renovated under the directions of Archbishop Albert D'Souza, Fr. John Ferreira and Parish Priest Rev. Fr. Joe Thykkattil in 2013. Some of the milestones in the history of the Cathedral parish are 1. St. Patrick's Jr. College (Estd. 1842), 2. St. Peter's College (Estd. 1846), St. Vincent's Girls' High School (Estd. 1912) and St. Paul's Inter College (Estd. 1959). For many years the Cathedral was under the Capuchin Fathers and they had handed it over to the Diocesan Priests. The following are the Parish Priests:

St. Mary's Church came into existence in April 1923 as a gift from the well-known John family of Agra, in memory of Mrs. Mary John. They also donated the adjoining compound with a large bungalow in it for the maintenance of the Church and the chaplain.

The foundation stone of this Church was laid on April 5, 1920 and on its completion, was blessed by Archbishop Raphael Bernacchioni on April 5, 1923 and was dedicated to Mary, Mother of Good Counsel. Thus, the Church came to fulfill the long-felt need of the residents of the locality as they found the Cathedral and St. Patrick's Parish too far for their spiritual needs. In 1968, at the request of the H.A.L. employees, the dedication was changed by Archbishop Dominic Athaide to Mary Mother of Good Health, after the Shrine of Our Lady of Velankani in Tamil Nadu.

The Religious Sisters of Jesus & Mary, seeing the need of the Catholics, established St. Anthony's School in 1845. The compound adjoining the Church was handed over to the Missionaries of Charity by the Archbishop in 1961. In 1964 Shishu Bhavan, a home for the abandoned, crippled and differently abled children was opened. Prem Dan, a home for the aged and dying destitutes was opened in 1980.

St. Lawrence of Brindisi (Minor Seminary) was shifted from the Cathedral Campus and relocated on 26 February, 1991. Till 1984 Capuchin Fathers served in this parish and later it was handed over to Pilar Fathers. Now it is under Diocesan Fathers since 2000. In 1995, ASMI Sisters started a Hospital and in 2005 PSOL Sisters started Divya Prabha (A Home for Children at Risk). The following are the Priests who served the parish:

On his way to Etah from Bastar, Fr. Joe Vadakekkara happened to stop in a village called Achalpur. Talking to the people, he came to know that there were CNI Christians without any shepherd. He opened a non-formal school in a shed belonging to Mr. Mahipal who was a Christian. Sunday Mass was offered for the eight Christian families regularly. FCC Sisters and their Novices from Etah visited the place and catechised the families to Catholicism and were given First Communion and Confirmation on Easter Sunday in 1999, by Fr. Joe Vadakekkara himself. Mr. Mahipal and family promised to donate about 250 sq. yards of land for the Mission. RCDA built a prayer hall-cum-classroom, a room for the priest and on the first floor a convent. FCC Sisters began to stay there from the year 2000. Their main apostolate is socio-pastoral work. This mission was looked after from Etah.

Fr. Mathew (Joby) Kanjirathinkal bought five kacha bigha (one acre) land from Mr. Devender Kumar and family in 2014. The Foundation Stone of St. Mary's School was laid on February 11, 2015.

The Pioneer of this new mission at Aduki was formally inaugurated on August 1, 2020 when Fr. Mathew Kumblumoottil took charge on August 1, 2020 as the Priest in-charge of St. Mother Teresa Seva Niketan the presbytery and the convent of the Franciscan Sisters of Mary Immaculate (FSM).

The process of obtaining the present plot of land (approx. 4 acres) commenced in 2011 when the first plot was registered on September 26, 2011 and the remaining four plots were added to it by 2013. This property was under the care of St. Dominic Sr. Sec. School, Mathura Cantt. and its respective authorities till July 2020. Rev. Fr. Elias Correia, the then Principal of the School acquired the land.

In early February, 2020 the construction of the presbytery and the convent began. Unfortunately owing to the Covid-19 pandemic and the related hazards, the work got stalled till the end of June 2020.

The vision for this mission is to launch into some social out-reach programmes like women empowerment, adult education, skill development and programmes to improve self-reliance. Situated just a kilometer and half away from the National Highway 2, Aduki falls behind the Mathura Refinery Nagar. The prospects of the mission under the patronage of St. Mother Teresa is great.

It was on August 2, 1961, the then Archbishop Dr. Dominic Athaide appointed Fr. Edmund OFM Cap to initiate the first Mission Station of the Archdiocese of Agra. He started the mission in Aligarh, residing in a rented room in Abdullah Lodge and offering Sunday Mass in the spacious residence of the then Aligarh Station Master, Mr. Cabral, a Catholic from Allahabad. Meanwhile the Archbishop invited the FSMA Sisters of Mhow (M.P.), to open a convent and an English medium School in Aligarh. The Sisters camped in Chhatri Wali Kothi on rent, and later shifted to Khalil Manzil. The school was in another building in the premises of Abdullah Lodge on Marris Road, till it was in permanent location in 1967. The second Priest in-charge of the Mission, also the first Diocesan Priest was Fr. Thomas Paramundayil (1964-1967). His ingenuity, wisdom and farsightedness gave a permanent campus to the Mission. With the arrival of Sisters of the Missionaries of Charity, the Mission became more lively. After staying in a rented house for a couple of years, the Sisters moved to their own house in Jamalpur in 1983. The Mission was blessed with its Church in 1986 by Fr. Jose Akkara, the then Priest in-charge. The founding of St. Fidelis School in 1992 by Fr. K. K. Thomas, brought enhancement to the Mission. From 1993, the Holy Family Congregation has been rendering their services. Later in 2001, Fr. Sebastian Pantaladi shifted the Classes from sixth upward to the new site in Tala Nagari. Fr. Dennis D'Souza upgraded the School to Senior Secondary. On July 1, 2005, the Fatima Sisters arrived in Aligarh and started to help in the field of education. The unique, alternative ministry, catering to the needs of street children, Savio Navjeevan Bal Bhavan was established on 31st August 2005 by Fr. Jose Akkara. In July 2010, the congested shelter in Ekta Nagar was moved to a spacious house in Tala Nagari.

The Inter-religious dialogue, a unique endeavour to bring the people of different faiths together, was very dear to the pioneer Archbishop of Agra, the Most Rev. Dr. Dominic Athaide. He started this movement in Aligarh in the year 1974 itself. The Foundation Stone for 'Sadbhavana' - a Centre for Inter-religious Dialogue - was blessed by Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald, the President of the Pontifical Council for Inter Religious Dialogue, Rome, in 2004 in the presene of Archbishop Oswald Gracias and Msgr. Felix Machado, the Secretary of the Pontifical Council. The same was established in 2012, is now headed by Fr. Varghese Kunnath. The Centre continues to be at Tala Nagari, Aligarh. For the Silver Jubilee Block, the foundation stone was laid on April 6, 2016 and blessed and inaugurated on July 3, 2017.

In 1960, the F.C.C. Sisters began their first Mission House in San Damiano Convent, Agra. Since a few Catholics were already working in Kasganj as Railway employees, Brother Hubert thought of opening a station at Kasganj.

It was some time in 1943 that Brother Xavier Braganza on one of his mission tours to Sirsa, came across a man named Mangu from Jaith. Mr. Mangu used to frequent Sirsa as he had a relation in that village through marriage. He was very inquisitive about Christianity and its teachings which ultimately led him to have several rounds of dialogues with the Brothers. A few days later, a group of leaders from that village led by Mr. Mangu met the Brothers at Mathura Cantt and expressed their willingness to be instructed in the Christian doctrine. The enthusiasm of the people touched the hearts of the Brothers. In December 1945, before the Feast of the Nativity, the first batch of 317 people was received into the Church.

Fr. Gyan Prakash, IMS, located a plot of land in Jaith in 1962. Brother Hubert who was at that time in Chandu Ka Nagla, helped to purchase three acres of land for the Church. On this very land today, stands the Church, Convent, School and Hostel. During the Archbishopric the Most. Rev. Dominic Athaide, Fr. Virender built the Nishkalanka Mata Church in 1968. In the same year at the request of the Archbishop, Assisi Sisters of Mary Immaculate came to help in the village ministry. The hospital was built in 1972 with the aid of donors.

CMSF Brothers were in Jaith helping the priests in-charge. The first resident priest of Jaith was Fr. Joseph D'Souza.

Fr. Stephen K. and Fr. Mathew Kumblumoottil succeeded him respectively. CMSF Brothers were in Jaith helping Fr. Mathew Kumbloomottil. Assisi Sisters of Mary Immaculate withdrew their Sisters from Jaith in 1983.

On July 26, 1988 Sisters of the Congregation of Jesus and Mary arrived in Jaith. Fr. Varghese started Nishkalanka Mata School on July 12, 1990. Fr. Joseph Dabre opened a boarding for poor boys in 1992. On February 3, 2000 the Most Rev. Vincent Concessao laid the foundation stone for Nishkalanka Mata Hostel. Fr. Eugene Lazarus started the work of the hostel which was continued and completed by Fr. Andrew Correia and blessed by the Most Rev. Oswald Gracias on August 15, 2001. The foundation stone for the present Church was laid on July 17, 2014 and blessed on July 31, 2016. Five acres of land was bought by Fr.

Kiraoli is a small town situated 10 km from Fatehpur Sikri towards Agra. Fatehpur Sikri holds great significance in the history of Christianity in North India, as Mughal Emperor Akbar the Great invited Christian missionaries to his royal court at Fatehpur Sikri. The Archdiocese felt the need to re-establish a mission in its vicinity to enhance the work of evangelization.

Considering these factors, a plot of land was purchased by RCDA through Fr. Ignatius Miranda at Gopau Village under Kiraoli Tehsil on March 2010, and it was subsequently decided to establish a Senior Secondary School. The construction of school building began in June 2013 and was blessed and inaugurated on April 15, 2014. Its location in the outskirts of Kiraoli is perfect for giving a salubrious environment to children.

The Franciscan Sisters of St. Aloysius Gonzaga (FSAG), based in Pondicherry, are actively rendering their services. The Convent was blessed on July 16, 2014. The foundation stone for the presbytery was laid on December 10, 2018, and the same was blessed by the Most Rev. Albert D'Souza on November 22, 2020. The following are the priests in-charge:

St. Theresa's Church, Kosikalan, had its origin in October 1987 when Fr. Varghese Kunnath, the then Priest in-charge of Nishkalanka Mata Church, Jaith, went to meet the Christian Community at Kosi at the request of Brother Philip Neri, CMSF. Having offered Sunday Masses for six months in a rented room, this new mission was approved by the then Archbishop, the Most Rev. Cecil DeSa during his pastoral visit to Kosikalan. Four and a half acres of land was bought in Barhana Village where the present Church, the School, the presbytery and the Convent are built. St. Theresa's School began in rented rooms on July 10, 1990 in the city. In October 1991, the school was shifted to the new building at Nandgaon Road. The Daughters of the Sacred Heart (DSH) arrived in the Mission in July 1991. The dedication of the Church, the Presbytery and the Convent took place on April 14, 1993. The silver jubilee memorial block was inaugurated and blessed on July 8, 2017.

Fr. Varghese Kunnath was the founder of the mission. The following are the parish priests who worked in this mission.

Mathura, also known as Muttra in earlier times, is an ancient Hindu holy city, the birth place of Lord Krishna. It is situated on the banks of the river Yamuna, having many sacred temples and ashrams. Lakhs of pilgrims converge every year.

Christianity has been co-existing in Mathura, for many centuries. The first Catholic to visit Mathura was a French priest, Fr. Tavernier, in about 1650. Another French man Bernier visited Mathura in 1663. Fr. Joseph Tiffenthaler, a Jesuit Missionary from Bolzano was in Mathura in 1750 to inspect the astronomical instruments of Raja Jai Singh.

Msgr. Victor Jacquemont visited Mathura in the cold weather of 1829-30.

Catholic communities of Armenians and Goans were here even before 1800 AD. Records say that Fr. Gregory, a Carmelite priest came to Mathura and administered the Sacraments of Baptism and Matrimony to several Catholics on the September 30, 1791. He is the same priest who baptized Begum Sumroo of Sardhana, at Akbar's Church in Agra.

The Church, dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi, was demolished in January 1874, and at the same place on the 18th of the same month, on the feast of the Holy Name, the first stone bearing the title of the Sacred Heart was laid for the new and the present Church. The entire Church edifice was completed and solemnly blessed two years later on the feast of All Saints by the Most Rev. Michael Angelo Jacopi, OFM Cap, the then Archbishop of Agra on November 1, 1876. This Church constructed in Gothic style blended with oriental design and native arts along with a dome elevated in Russian look, is a model of inculturation in the architectural styles of the Church. The work was supervised by Mr. F. S. Growse the then Collector and Magistrate of Mathura.

Many leading members of the Hindu community - the Rani of Kunwar, the Seths, the Raja of Hathras, Lala Syam Sundar Das, to mention a few assisted in the construction of the Church with handsome pecuniary donations and many of them attended the solemn blessing of the Church.

In 1936 the Franciscan Brothers of Mt. Poinsur started their Missionary work in Mathura with Brothers Otto and Magnus, concentrating more on village uplift. The School that was run by the Parish Priest of the Sacred Heart Church was given over to Mother Mary of Jesus Immolated and her Companion, Sr. Beatrice, in 1956. In 1958 Archbishop Most Rev. Dr. Dominic Athaide invited the Congregation of the Carmelite Sisters of Trivandrum to look after the school for the diocese. In 1960 the IMS Fathers came to work in the Mathura Mission.

Owing to the efforts of the IMS Fathers, Capuchin Fathers, Franciscan Brothers, Diocesan Fathers and Sisters of various Congregations, many villages were strengthened with programmes of social uplift. Parishes like St. Michael - Anoopnagar, Our lady of Fatima - Ajay Nagar, St. Joseph - Gaunpur and Nishkalanka Mata - Jaith were carved out from Mathura and it serves as the Deanery Parish for these Parishes along with St. Peter's Parish, Bharatpur, and St. Peter's Parish, Bhimnagar, St. Theresa's Mission Kosi Kalan and the latest St. Mother Teresa's Mission, Aduki.

Now there are three women religious Congregations and one of men (CCR, FCC, ASC and CMSF Brothers). The following are the Diocesan Priests who have served over here:

Fr. John D'Cunha	1981 - 1984
Fr. Joseph T. D'Souza	1984 - 1987

At the northern tip of the Archdiocese of Agra lies St. Mary's Church with its borders touching the ecclesiastical territories of Delhi and Meerut. Even in the initial days of its growth and development, Noida being an industrial city, attracted thousands of people because of the many job opportunities, residential amenities and clean pollution-free environment, apart from the proximity to the capital city of Delhi.

Among the early migrants were a few Catholics who longed for the services of a priest. When Fr. Augustine Kuriappally, the then Parish Priest of Trilokpuri Parish in Delhi offered his services, the seeds of St. Mary's Parish were sown in January 1983. Even though the Priests from Delhi took care of the pastoral needs of the few Catholics, Noida remained 'no one's child' without any clear indication as to which diocese it belonged to.

The adoption process, however, was initiated in early 1984 when Fr. Johnson Chiriyankandath, the then Parish Priest of Bulandshahar, of the Archdiocese of Agra, started visiting Noida and finally took charge of the new parish from Fr. Cyrillo Rodrigues of Trilokpuri, on August 23, 1986. Thus Noida, became part of Agra Archdiocese. The foundation stone of the present beautiful and majestic Church in Sector 34 was laid by the Most Rev. Cecil DeSa, the Archbishop of Agra on August 15, 1991 and exactly after two years, the same was dedicated to Our Lady of Assumption at a solemn ceremony on August 15, 1993. FCC Noida Province was established on July 12, 1992.

The advent of TOR Fathers in January 1997 added a new dimension to the pastoral care of the faithful. The following are the parish priests:

Fr. Johnson Chiriyankandath	1991 - 1994
Fr. Mathew Kumblumoottil	1994 - 1999

a part of the extension of the educational services to serve the people of Agra, the Archdiocese of Agra had purchased a plot of land at Rohta.

His Grace entrusted the work of looking for a suitable land to Rev. Fr. Paul Thannickal, the then Principal of St. Peter's College, in 2014.

St. Francis School, was established on July 1, 2018. It is on the NH 507 near the village of Badar, Sadabad tehsil, Hathras District. Nearly 5 acres of land was bought under the guidance of Rev. Fr.

The then Principal, Rev. Fr. Dr. Robert Varghese, Priest in-charge initiated the building of the boundary wall with the help of local administration and planned to build the school.

The Church of the Holy Family was built in 1856 chiefly to look after the spiritual needs of railway employees consisting of Europeans and Anglo-Indians. Until 1967 this Church was visited by a priest from Agra to conduct services on Sundays and feast days. In the course of time the work of the Church developed and extended its services to the nearby villages and hundreds were baptized. Unfortunately these people became apostates. Fr. Pius, Fr. Peter Celestine, Fr. Clement and Fr. Francis Lobo worked in the parish up to 1970.

On June 28, 1970 Fr. K. C. Thomas was appointed resident priest. On July 3, 1972 he opened Christ the King English medium school in a rented building. Later in September 1972, Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph from Madras arrived to lend a helping hand in the Parish.

In 1978, Christ the King School was shifted from the rented building to the place purchased by the Archdiocese on the Agra-Kanpur Highway. The school was upgraded to a High School in 1985.

A new plot of land was purchased in September 2007 to relocate the primary sections. On August 15, 2008, the construction of the first phase of Christ the King Primary School commenced. In July 2009, the K.G. sections, in July 2010 Classes I to III and the rest of Primary Section in 2012 were relocated in the new campus; also the school was raised to Senior Secondary level. The following are the parish priests:
