The Shrine became a reality due to the untiring and joint efforts of the Parishners of St. Luke Church, Anna Nagar, the Visionary Pioneer Rev Fr. Michael Raj, Rev Sr. Mary Theodore O.A.M. of “MITHRA” that takes care of the physically and mentally challenged people and the cooperation of Society of St Paul, India.
