Today’s Feast of Mary, the Mother of God is a very appropriate way to begin the new year. This celebration reminds us that the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, is also our Heavenly Mother. “Through Mary to Jesus!" This is an occasion to renew our devotion to Mary, who is also Mother of the Church because she is our spiritual mother — and we are the Church.

Holy Mother of God, to you we consecrate this New Year. You, who know how to cherish things in your heart, care for us, bless our time, and teach us to find time for God and for others. With joy and confidence, we acclaim you: Holy Mother of God! Holy Mother of God! Holy Mother of God!

Our Story

The Shrine of Irla is dedicated to Our Lady of Velankanni, Patroness of Health, Its existence is due to untiring efforts of Fr. Bruno Venturin P.I.M.E and to the great sacrifices of all devotees.

The following year the Shrine was completed and on the occasion of the N...ativity Celebrations of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Rt. Rev. Dr. Alfonso Beretta, P.I.M.E., Bishop of Warangal (A.P.) blessed the Shrine on 8th September, 1976. A year later, His Eminence, the late Cardinal Valerian Gracias, graced the Nativity Celebrations with his presence all the devotees were touched by his visit. He celebrated the Eucharist and in his homily he paid glowing tributes to Fr. Bruno Venturin, an Italian missionary, who has provided for the devotees at Irla a place of Veneration to Our Lady of Velankanni. Fr. Bruno Venturin was a member of the Pontifical Institute for Missions Extension (P.I.M.E) The Statue of Our Lady of Velankanni within the Shrine is attributed with miraculous power and day by day attracts more and more devotees from every caste and creed even from great distance. The Novena Services have been held every Saturday since 1968 when the P.I.M.E fathers first came to Mumbai Now we have in total six Novena Services on every Saturday of the year and ten during the Annual Nativity Celebrations, each of the nine days following the BIRTHDAY OF MOTHER MARY on the 10th day ....
