Pilgrim Group Accommodation

Dear Group Leader / Parish Priest,

I greet you in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ and Mary Immaculate from the Shrine of Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni.

In the light of the large number of pilgrims who visit The Graha Maria, it is essential to clarify the process that a group needs to follow in order to secure a booking for accommodation.

1. Submit your booking through this form.
2. The Shrine will then email a reply to the leader of the group to inform him/her that a date is available for the group, specifying the number of pilgrims that would comprise the group.
3. The leader of the group will then confirm, via email, to this agreed booking date.
4. Two weeks before the arrival date, the leader of the group is required to reconfirm the booking interest and submit a list of the names in the group via email.

In order to maximize the number of pilgrims we can welcome to the Graha Maria, it is necessary to ask people to share rooms with their friends wherever possible. We encourage all of our pilgrims to enter into the “Spirit of Pilgrimage” when they come to visit the Shrine.

There are no fixed tariff rates for these rooms. It is free to stay and a love token will be much appreciated for the upkeep of the facilities.

We thank you for considering our request and promise to keep you in our prayers. We look forward to seeing you at Graha Maria.

LJC et MI.
