Celebration of the Feast of Our Lady of Good Health

Celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Good Health at Holy Cross Church, Durham!

You are cordially invited to join the Indian Tamil Catholic community and the Holy Cross Catholic Church in Durham as we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Good Health, Velankanni, on Saturday, September 14, 2024, starting at 9 am.

The day's festivities will commence with the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, the blessing and distribution of Holy Oil, and special prayers for healing. This will be followed by a Rosary procession, featuring a beautifully decorated 'Sapparam' carrying the blessed statue of Our Lady of Good Health. The highlight of the event will be the Feast Mass celebrated by the Most Reverend Luis Rafael Zarama, Bishop of Raleigh.

Following the Mass, a fellowship lunch featuring delicious Indian cuisine will be served. Register to join the fellowship lunch.

This revered tradition honors the Blessed Virgin Mary, known as 'Arockia Madha' or 'Our Lady of Good Health.' Her legacy of miraculous healing and unwavering faith, which began centuries ago in a small fishing village called Velankanni in India, continues to inspire millions around the world.

Join us as we celebrate this remarkable story of faith and devotion. May the Blessed Virgin Mary intercede for us, grant us good health, and heal us. Our Lady of Good Health, Velankanni, pray for us! Amen.
