Welcome to Annai Vailankanni Shrine online!
Fulfilling its mission, the Shrine is a place of worship, pilgrimage, evangelization and reconciliation.
I am sure you will appreciate the contents of this site, especially if you are about to organise a pilgrimage to our Shrine. It is possible to check timetables and send Prayer request.
As a parish, the Shrine is the primary spiritual home of nearly 1,600 families. Thus it is a living community of faith which tries hard to welcome some 200,000 visitors whom we receive each year. Open 365 days a year, the Shrine is host to nearly one million visitors annually, attracting Pilgrims and Tourists alike from across the country and around the world.
The Shrine offers three Masses everyday and more than five hours of Confessions daily, as well as a Catholic Book Store to accommodate its visitors.
In addition, Special Masses, Devotions and Concerts are held regularly throughout the year, and on Holy Days and Holidays. Please check our schedule!
Enjoy your visit and, in the spirit of Our Mother of Good Health, we wish you Peace and all Good.
We pray that this website may encourage you to visit us in person. Consider this to be our invitation: Come and see!
Rector & Parish Priest

Testimonials

Our 9 year old granddaughter was healed of Anaemia. Blood had to be infused every 3 months. Now she is completely cured.

I was appointed as a Conductor in a transport Corporation out of my home town. By the Blessing of Our Mother I was able to get a transfer to my hometown.

My daughter Rita survived a fall from a 3 storey School building. At that time I was attending the 9 day Novena to our Mother here in Besant Nagar.

We were blessed by Our Mother with a baby after many years.
