ஆவடி புனித அந்தோணியார் தேவாலயத்தில் ஜூன் 11 முதல் 16 வரை 74வது ஆண்டு திருவிழா கொண்டாட்டம்!

ஆவடி புனித அந்தோணியார் தேவாலயத்தில் ஜூன் 11 முதல் 16 வரை 74வது ஆண்டு திருவிழா கொண்டாட்டம்!

தொடக்க காலத்தில் ஆவடியைச் சுற்றியுள்ள கிராமங்களில் கிறிஸ்தவம் விதைக்கப்பட்டிருந்தாலும், அது ஆழமாக வேரூன்றாமல் காலப்போக்கில் கிறிஸ்தவ படைவீரர்களின் ஆன்மீக தேவையை நிறைவு செய்யக்கூடிய ஒன்றாகவே திகழ்ந்தது.

1943-ம் ஆண்டு அருள்தந்தை. ஜாண் வென்னார்ட் அவர்களின் கடின உழைப்பாலும், எளிமையான வாழ்க்கையாலும் ஈரக்கப்பட்டு ஆஸ்ஷ, காமராஜ் நகர, HVF, பட்டாபிராம் மற்றும் அம்பத்தூர் பகுதிகளை சுற்றியுள்ள மக்கள் கிறிஸ்தவ மதத்தை தழுவினர். இந்த கிராமங்களில் உள்ள பிள்ளைகள் பள்ளிக்கு செல்லாமல் இருப்பதை கண்ட அருள்தந்தை இறைமக்களின் ஆன்மீக தேவைகளை நிறைவு செய்வதோடு மட்டும் நின்றுவிடாமல், 1950 ம் ஆண்டு குழந்தைகளுக்கு தமிழ்வழிக் கல்லியை ஆரம்பித்தார்.

இறைமக்களின் ஆன்மீக தேவைகளை உணர்ந்து, 1958-ம் ஆண்டு செப்டம்பர் மாதம் 8-ம் நாள் சென்னை மயிலை உயர் மறைமாவட்ட பேராயர் மேதகு லூயிஸ் மத்தியா ஆண்டகை அவர்களால் புதிய ஆலயத்திற்கான அடிக்கள் நாட்டப்பட்டு, ஆலய பணிகள் அனைத்தும் முடிந்து 1959-ம் ஆண்டு ஜீலை மாதம் 3-ம் நாள் சென்னை மயிலை உயர மறைமாவட்ட இணை ஆயர் மேதகு பிரான்சிஸ் கார்வாலோ அவர்களால் புனிதப்படுத்தி திறந்து வைக்கப்பட்டது. ஆவடி புனித அந்தோணியார் ஆலயமானது 2010 ஆம் ஆண்டு நவம்பர் மாதம் 21-ம் நாள் சென்னை மயிலை பேராயர் மேதகு A.M. சின்னப்பா அவர்களாவி திருத்தலமாக அறிவிக்கப்பட்டது.

புனித அந்தோணியாரின் புதுமைகளால் நிரம்பி வழியும் இத்திருத்தலத்திற்கு ஆயிரக்கணக்கான மக்கள் சாதி, மதங்களை கடந்து வருவது மட்டுமல்லாமல் ஆயிரக்கணக்கான அற்புதங்களும், அதிசயங்களும் புனிதரின் பரிந்துரையால் இத்திருத்தலத்தில் நடந்து கொண்டிருக்கிறது. மேலும் பெற்ற நன்மைகளுக்கு நன்றியாக மெழுகுவர்த்தி ஏற்றுதல், மாலை அணிவித்தல், உலோகத்தினாலான உடல் உறப்புகள் காணிக்கை போன்றவை புனிதரின் அருளுக்கு சான்றாக அமைகிறது. எனவே ஆவடி புளித அந்தோணியார் திருத்தலம் வாருங்கள் நம்புங்கள், செபியுங்கள், நல்லது நடக்கும் என்பதே இத்திருத்தலம் தரும் இறையாசீர்.

இந்த ஆண்டு ஆவடி புனித அந்தோணியார் திருத்தலத்தின் 74வது ஆண்டு விழா வருகின்ற ஜூன் மாதம் 11-ம் தேதி முதல் 16-ம் தேதி வரை சிறப்பாக கொண்டாடவிருக்கின்றோம் என்பதை மகிழ்ச்சியுடன் தெரிவித்துக் கொள்கின்றோம். இந்த ஆண்டு விழாவின் முக்கிய நிகழ்வுகள்!

11.06.2024, செவ்வாய் மாலை 06.00 மணி - திருக்கொடியேற்ற பெருவிழா

St. Anthony’s Church, Avadi 74th anniversary Festival Celebration from 11th to16th of June.

Although Christianity was planted in the villages around Avadi in the early days, it did not take deep root and over time it became something that could satisfy the spiritual needs of the Christian soldiers.

In 1943, His Holiness. Inspired by John Vennard’s hard work and simple life, the people around Avadi, Kamaraj Nagar, Pattabiram and Ambattur converted to Christianity. Seeing that the children in these villages did not go to school, the Holy Father not only fulfilled the spiritual needs of the people, but also started Tamil education for the children in 1950.

Realizing the spiritual needs of the people, on 8th September 1958, the Archbishop of Chennai Mailai Archdiocese His Excellency Louis Mathias Andagai laid the foundation stone for the new church, and after all the temple works were completed, on 5th July 1959, the Co-Bishop of Chennai Mailai Archdiocese Consecrated and opened by Francis Carvalho. Avadi St. Anthony’s Church was inaugurated on November 21, 2010 It was declared a shrine by His Excellency U.A.Chinnappa.

Not only thousands of people across caste and religion come to this Thiruthalam which is overflowing with the innovations of St. Anthony but also thousands of miracles and wonders are happening in this Thiruthalam due to the intercession of the saint. Also the lighting of candles, garlands, offerings of metal body parts in gratitude for the benefits received are evidences of the saint’s grace. So come to Avadi St. Anthony Shrine.

Believe, pray, good things will happen is the divine blessing that gives relief.

We are happy to announce that this year we are celebrating the 74th anniversary of Avadi St. Anthony’s Church from 11th to 16th of June. Highlights of this year’s festival:

• 11.06.2024 06.00 PM – Flag hoisting ceremony

• 14.06.2024 06.00 PM – Holy Eucharist

• 15.06.2024 06.00 PM – Car procession Ceremony

• 16.06.2024 06.00 PM – Flag hoisting

We cordially invite you to participate in these important events and seek the blessings of the wonderful Saint Anthony.
