Christian Pilgrimage | Holy Church

Our Lady of Vailankanni Church

Vailankanni is home to a renowned Lady of Vailankanni Church visited by guests from all over India, Srilanka and Malaysia and even European countries.

The church can be traced to the mid-16th century and its founding is attributed to three miracles. More than 500 years later, the festival and celebration is still observed and draws nearly 2 million pilgrims each year.

Even though Trichy is the nearest airport (150 kms), Lady of Vailankanni Church is a regular standalone getaway from Chennai (regular overnight Volvo buses ply on the route).
