A very simple but spiritually most fruitful celebration of the Palm Sunday was held within the Marian Shrine Complex of Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni with it’s small staff without the faithful being present, in compliance with the Government rules as well as the archdiocesan instructions. A Happy Holy Week.

Following the directive of the Archbishop of Medan to suspend all church services in Medan as part of the measures to contain the spread of Corona Virus (COVID-19), we have closed the Marian Shrine of Annai Velangkanni to the public from 20 March 2020.
Here is a list of Masses leading up to Easter Sunday from the Medan Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception that you can follow on Facebook and YouTube Live Streaming, and Radio Maria and Radio Karina.

The following video is a recollection of the key moments of the 2018 Palm Sunday celebration at Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni. At that time all the people rejoiced and cheered the glory of the King. Let’s always pray and ask for protection from God and hopefully the Covid 19 outbreak will soon pass.
God bless.

Palm Sunday 2018 Moments
Christmas is a moment where we always feel the presence of Jesus where ever we are through love, peace and and forgiveness for others. The new year is not just a change of calendar year, but the year of God’s grace, the year of salvation. May the celebration of Christmas and the new year enable us to experience Jesus who was born in our hearts, so that we can share love, peace, and forgiveness for others.
Gloria in exelcis Deo! Peace on earth, peace in the heart.
