Brief History:
In 1971, this Church was a substation of St Louis
Church, Adyar.Fr PT Arulappa, the then Parish Priest, St Louis Church, Adyar
and a great Missionary started Our Lady of Vailankanni Church under trying
conditions.The Archbishop of Madras Mylapore, Most Rev Dr R Arulappa, erected
it as a separate Parish in 1973. The imposing 97 feet belfry was declared open
by the then Chief Minister Dr M Karunanidhi 27th August 1972. On 15th August
1985 a bigger Church was blessed and consecrated by Archbishop Most Rev Dr R
Arulappa. By the efforts of Rev Fr PJ Lawrence Raj, several extensions and
renovations were made to this Shrine. A beautiful community hall, stalls,
Museum and class room blocks were constructed. In May 2000, nearly 8 grounds
were purchased and a beautiful stage was erected and dedicated to Jubilee 2000.
In 2001 a small Chapel for the blessed Sacrament was built. In 2002 a grotto
depicting the miracles of Our Lady of Good Health was created. In 2003, Mother
Mary’s Square and Reconciliation Chapel was constructed. From 2000 to 2003, 3
grounds were purchased in which the new Convent building stands. On 8th
September 2005 this Church was decreed as a Shrine of the Archdiocese of Madras
‘ Mylapore by the Most Rev Dr AM Chinnappa SDB, Archbishop of Madras ‘ Mylapore.
