WELCOMING THE FIRST-CLASS RELIC OF ST. THOMAS THE APOSTLE

We are blessed to announce that our Parish will receive the first-class relic of St. Thomas the Apostle on 11 October 2026. The relic will be brought from the National Shrine of St. Thomas Basilica of Mylapore by Most Reverend George Anthonysamy, the Archbishop of Madras - Mylapore, India.
We sincerely thank His Grace Archbishop George Anthonysamy and Rev. Fr. Clarence Devadass for their kind assistance in obtaining this first-class relic for our parish.
The relic will be placed side by side with the first-class relic of St. Faustina in our Adoration Room, where they will remain as a lasting reminder of our faith and devotion. May St. Thomas the Apostle continue to guide and strengthen our parish community.​​​​​​​
