Devotion of people of Sastrinagar and North Chennai to Our Lady of Velanganni is praise worthy. This was very evident in how they prayed during the first of the novena conducted on 29th of Aug. 2013 evening. The mass of people who attended the celebration was countless. I remembered the words of Don bosco " Spread the evotion to Our Lady and you will see what miracles are" Praise the Lord.
AVE MARIA...
This Church has erected a new Church now and has been privileged to be a shrine. This has become the unique and biggest shrine for Mother (Velankanni) in North Chennai.
