In many respects this majestic shrine is a replica of the basilica of Lourdes. It consists of a church upon a church. The main altar of the lower church, or crypt, is dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary, as at Lourdes. Entrance to the upper Church is by means of two imposing ramps; their graceful curves not only add beauty, but also serve as an enclosure for open-air services. The upper church with its magnificent towers has a majestic appearance. The interior is simple and beautiful and creates an atmosphere of peace and devotion. Also has a chappel filled with peaceful ambience!!

Great church. Peaceful place.

Beautiful Church and one of the best & traditional Church in chennai

When in sad mood or bad vibe feeling worries or stress it is a best place to visit. In case of emergency inside church you have near by hospital, buses , auto and trains available. In case of hunger there are lots of shop nearest to church it is safer place to visit.

I had the opportunity to visit the church multiple times whenever I visited Perambur—I noticed that the English masses would happen on the ground floor. In contrast, the Tamil masses would be held on the 1st floor. I was fortunate to attend the English mass with my wife and, after the mass, to sit beside the statue of Lourdes. The place is so serene and calm despite its location situated at the centre of the city. Mostly, the turbanacle is so pleasant, well-maintained and air-conditioned. “Come to me those that weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” This quote so resonates with me that each time I come to the Lord, he satisfies my thirst ❤️ The church has a vast open area; during festivities, that area is utilised for masses due to the massive turnaround of worshippers. Ain't no party like a Catholic party!

Church is located in 300 meters from Perambur Railway Station, Chennai. Calm place to pray & calm your mind. Environment is Hygienic and that need to appreciated.

Beautiful Peaceful Holy place … architectured based on the famous pilgrimage site at Our Lady Of Lourdes Church in France

Majestically beautiful place! My first time in Perumbur and the locals call it the ‘famous and big’ church. Easy to get here. Lovely Architecture. Vivid culture of people can be met here.

The church is nice but sc0undr3ls like Fr Joe Andrew and Deva Joe make it bad. Joe Andrew is a big talk. He will talk for hours but wont lift his finger for people who have fallen into trouble on account of his advice or take responsibility for his actions. Joe Andrew - did not maintain a balance between the communities from the 2 languages. Joe Andrew was kindly requested, for God's sake, not to come back here to say Mass for the problems that he caused while he was here, but the fellow like a devil, won't listen and keeps coming back here again and again and disturbing our peace of mind. Here's what the Bible says about them: Matt 23 - For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces and being called rabbi by others. The 2 fellows are nothing but eyewash. All whitewashed tombstones. Deva Joe is nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing, a sc0undr3l of the highest order, a son of Satan. He reflects anything but Christ like qualities. They give a hoot about others. Deva Joe is the worst priest to serve in Perambur Church. And Oh! if its a woman he will shamelessly run to help. He is a disgraceful fellow. He is a Number 1 escape artist. He will go to hell before all others. GOD'S NAME, THEIR GAME More to come...

Best place for worship for catholic people. Parish Church and shrine. Very popular church run by Don Bosco Fathers.

This church stands as a testimony to our holy mother's intercession for more than a century and I cordially invite my non-christian friends to come visit this place to take a break from the hassles of this world and you'll definitely return back home with a peace of mind.

A good place to receive both God's Grace and also mother mary's Grace

I feel the presence of God when I pray there. It is a beautiful Church.

Went on pilgrimage trip with family. A holy place, well ventilated and different construction from other churches. Personally recommend a visit

A beautiful church which has been refurbished..... Has an upper church and lower church. A must visit destination which hosted the infamous Mother Mary crying blood a few years ago. A peaceful and serene spot to meditate.

Largest church in Chennai. Consists of two churches, one play area, one school, one outdoor auditorium and one of the most anointed adoration chapels I have ever seen in my entire life!

A place of worship. Feel like praying in this church and can feel the presence of our Mother Mary. Love to visit this Church. There is always some activity going on over here. It is full of life. Thank you Mother Mary.

Best peaceful and Miraculous Church

It's the most divine place, located in perambur

Traditional church about a century age. Beware road surrounding the church is always high on traffic. Always ask the gate watchman for parking direction. They used to change the parking space depending on the mass occassions.

Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine is a 123-year-old Catholic Church with a rich history. It has been administered by the Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB) since 1934. The architecture faintly echoes that of the original Lourdes Shrine (France). It organises a widely attended week-long annual feast culminating on 11 February. They celebrate several masses (Tamil and English) daily. The priests extend great spiritual help towards the staff and students of the neighbouring St. Joseph’s Anglo-Indian School in the form of monthly confessions, First Friday mass, guest speeches during retreats and events, and spiritual direction. Although I belong to St. Sebastian’s Church (Madhavaram), I had a wonderful five years as part of the St. Joseph’s school choir for several masses at Our Lady of Lourdes. The upper church is a visual marvel. The lower church has a room at the entrance with a massive crucifix that will stir your heart and bring a tear to your eye. The adoration chapel is serene. The campus is expansive, but oppressively hot despite having a decent number of trees and plants. The liturgical goods store has pleasant staff, but it is begging for a remodel. Moving around gets awkward in there because there’s hardly any wiggle room. Great literature and a decent collection of statues (Don Bosco, Mary Help of Christians, Infant Jesus, Holy Family, Sacred Heart, Anthony), crucifixes, and rosaries. A special shout-out to Fr. Abraham Vettical, Fr. K. V. Sebastian, and Fr. Joe Andrew.

Chennai's one of the oldest and big church. 2 big masses happen at the same time.

Church at perambur ! Old church where regular prayers and other Christian faith celebration like marriage, engagement and Baptism conducted.

I went to church with my kids. But people there banned me for my 2 year old run inside church. I don't know whether the people worshiping there are actually following Jesus. As far as I know Jesus said “Let the little children come to me” Matthew 19:14, Mark 10:14 and Luke 18:16.

though the place is considered sacred for ages ,this holy church divine was ruined and deteroited by commercial aspects and the church is dominated by business minded doctrines..i am very dissappointed and heart broken by the bitter experience that i have experienced from the long haired sexton and from the parish priest when my two year old son was restricted to attend the mass when the kiddo cried and became noisy.. we have done all our efforts to make him engaged outside the church varandha during the mass time and didnt made any distraction when the liturgy is going on..when the mass was ended only a hand full devotees are remaining in the church and we let them our son to enter in the church.this provoke the uncouth sexton and we had a quarrel with the sexton..he is demanding that "my two year old son was not permitted to enter the church".when we met the parish vicar to raise the complaint he also supported the sexton justifying him..what is the spiritual meaning of church justifying these deeds??when the church forget the bible sayings people loose hope in church..READ Mark 10:13_16 and Luke 18:15_17.

A Blessed place which I visit regularly for worship and its also a pilgrim sight for all to visit

Very religious and it's quite 100+ yrs old church

It's a nice church, decent size, good seating arrangements..

A shrine basilica dedicated to our Lady of Lourdes in Perambur, Chennai. Ideal place for worship, wonderful ambience.
