    A perfect place for prayers and for your personal intentions...St Antony's Church is easily noticeable when you drive past from Kaloor to Palarivattom. Even though the church is situated at the busy main road the hustle and bustle of crowd doesn't affect the peaceful environment inside the church.Those who pray sincerely will surely get blessings.Tuesdays are the specialties for the church as the day is devoted to Saint Antony with special novena across the day. It is very crowded on Tuesdays. Apart from attending novena, garlanding the statue of Saint Antony, getting personal blessings from priest (adima samarpanam) and having nercha kanji (rice gruel) in the afternoon are some of the rituals in the church on Tuesdays . A shop for candles, idols ,rosaries and other items is also situated nearby church..

    A very popular church for the locals as well as the outsiders irrespective of religion or cast. Church where miracles happen if you ask sincerely and with utmost humility. Very crowded on Tuesdays but other days are comfortable. The road outside will mostly be choking with traffic. Park a bit away and walk to the shrine.

    This is one of the most famous pilgrim centres in the whole of Kerala State. This is devoted to St.Antony of Padua. There had been a lot of miracles happening to many people out there who had offered their personal prayers and offerings to the saint. There are Novenas happening every Tuesdays until 6.30 pm which also consists of the English Novena. There is a huge crowd on Tuesdays. Even though there is a huge hustle bustle on the highway just in front of the shrine, the rituals and prayers happening inside are not affected due to it. Along with the Novena, one gets an opportunity to garland the saint's statue too. There are a lot of shops there that sell various holy apparels related to the saint. After the evening Novena there were buns offered to the people to eat. There is 'Kanji' (rice porridge) given to the people after the afternoon Novena. There is an ample amount of parking space opposite to the shrine on the other side of the road. One has to cross the road after having parked one's car. There are traffic policemen helping out people to cross the road by blocking the traffic for a little while. Overall this shrine is a must visit for people and pilgrims having the most urgent yet unsatisfied needs.

    The Shrine of St. Antony situated in Kaloor, Kerala is one of the biggest pilgrim centres of St. Antony in the world; perhaps second only to Padua in terms of popularity. This Shrine belongs to the Archdiocese of Verapoly and is under the pastoral and administrative care of the Metropolitan Archbishop of Verapoly. The mother church of this Shrine is St. Francis Xavier’s Parish Church, of Kathrikkadavu, Kaloor. Just like the name Padua got associated with the Saint Anthony who lived there and motivated the people there to turn to God, Kaloor too became synonymous with St. Antony and his wonderworks.

    13-6-22 Monday. St Antony's Feast day. I and my friend participated in choir (Violns) full day. We refused their poor payment and donated to church. Management is not giving proper remuneration for Musicians.

    I am from Mysore, and I was in Kochi for an important exam. a day before I visited the Shrine and offered my prayers and sought divine help. Exam was tough and I was totally relying on Divine Intervention. Yesterday my exam results are out and I cleared my exam. This is a wonderful experience and I thank St. Antony for praying for me. Thank you.

    It's a very wonderful peaceful place. Wonderful atmosphere and better prayer areas that I have seen in Kaloor. Car parking is too much problem facing that area. High traffic and public places near the national highway side stay this church

    We came here every Tuesday evening. We can sit here with relaxed and calm for long time. They have car parking facilities Opposite to the church for cars and bikes. Traffic lights are installed here due to traffic blocks, but no one aware or looking it. If the drivers or the people those who passing the zebra crossing is not looking the traffic lights.

    One of the best Catholic churches in Ernakulam. A divine place to visit in Ernakulam in the name of St.Antony. Many miracles are still happening here.Crowded on Tuesdays where other days are manageable. Church has adequate space to accommodate crowd and has a good parking space located at the opposite of the church. Blessed and divine place to spend our time with God

    A very calm place to attend🤗❣️ And the place where you can ask for anything that can be achieved by praying with help of a candle infront of the church as 1000s of people come for this purpose only. And i have made many contracts with him personally 😂. And i got the reply in time And I'm grateful for having in my life🤗

    It's a lovely church. A miraculous one for believers with many stories to cite. Peaceful during non-mass hours. Has dedicated parking space too but can be crowded during mass hours

  • 5/5 Shawn X. 7 months ago on Google
    Visited on 19/09/2023 Tuesdays are the most important day for the church. Early morning 6:15 onwards mass & novena are been offered till last mass & novena at 7pm (English) Those who wish to have Nercha Kanji (rice gruel) 10:45 mass & novena will be the better timing, but during sunny days this timing can be hectic due to large number people comes at this hour & humidity. There will queue for the nercha Kanji during this time. Those wish to offer (buns or rice) can be placed in front of the st antony's statue inside the church. Parking is available right opposite to church which is quite a big parking lot and another parking available just after the church in front of the adoration chapels entrance, which can accommodate 8 - 10 cars Toilet facilities are available at this area.
