The '''Church of Our Lady of Hope''', also known as "Igreja Da Nossa Senhora Da Esperança" is a [[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] [[church (building)|church]] in the [[Diocese]] of [[Diocese of Cochin|Cochin]]. It is located at the island of [[Vypeen]] - the point where the [[Vembanad Lake]] merges with the [[Arabian Sea]], with [[Fort Kochi|Fort Cochin]] on the other side.

The church, with an area of 10 km<sup>2</sup>, occupying southern end of Vypeen Island, is the northernmost boundary of Diocese of Cochin. It happens to be one of the oldest churches in [[Diocese of Cochin|Cochin]], built by the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] in 1605 A.D

==History==
During the [[Age of Discovery]], the [[Roman Catholic Church]] established a number of [[Mission (Christian)|Missions]] in the New World in order to spread Christianity. The missionaries of the different orders ([[Franciscan]]s, [[Dominican Order|Dominicans]], [[Jesuit]]s, [[Augustinians|Augustinian]]s, etc.) flocked out and began at once to build churches along the coast districts wherever the Portuguese power made itself felt.

This church was built by the Portuguese missionaries and blessed in 1605 A.D by [[:pt:André de Santa Maria|Bishop Dom Andrea de Santa Maria O.F.M.]], the then Bishop of Cochin

The Dutch who conquered Cochin in 1663, destroyed all Catholic buildings in Cochin. Only the St. Francis Church, Santa Cruz Basilica, and St. Louis Church Mundamveli (2nd Parish Church) escaped this fate. The original wooden altar and screen of St Francis church were moved to this church when the Dutch took possession of St Francis church.

This imposing church was renovated in 2005 as part of its fourth centenary celebrations. The fourth centenary of her erection was celebrated on 19 November 2005.
