"The church of rock and pillar is nothing without the many colours of light." - Angela Abraham The stained glass windows and the lit up alter with her sari clad form throws an ethereal glow on the entire church. It would be utterly beautiful when the light hits the windows during sunset. Our Lady of Ransom Shrine sits outsides to the left of the Church.

Our Lady of Ransom Church, Kanyakumari Overview Our Lady of Ransom Church is a famous Catholic Church that is located in the Kanyakumari District of Tamil Nadu and was built in dedication to Mother Mary. A brilliant example of Gothic architecture, the church was built during the 15th century and looks breathtakingly beautiful against the blue lashing waves of the ocean behind it. The gold cross on the central tower of the church further adds beauty and charm to this magnificent structure, and its beauty and tranquillity are what attract people the most.
Our Lady of Ransom is the Patron of the congregation in Spain, which had long ago redeemed the Christians from Muslim invasions in 1218. The people of Kanyakumari combined the name Ransom with Delight and began to call their patron by the name of Alangara Upakara Matha. It is in her honour that this splendid church has been built. The colourfully stained windows of the church throw multi-hued lights inside the main building, and the three white spires of the primary structure rise up to the sky. The church is in its full splendour in evenings and at night, when it gets lit up. What enthrals people the most is the statue of Virgin Mary, clad in a sari, at the altar. And this in itself is reason enough to visit the enchanting Our Lady of Ransom Church.

Peaceful, pleasant and feel very prayerful. It’s a very nice place to be in prayer with no busy traffic sound or disturbances…
We happen to see the church from far and thought me must definitely visit rather than miss it.
Holy Mary pray for us…🙏🙏🙏

Famous Church which is very near to Kanyakumari Beach! We can reach the church in a short period by walking from Kanyakumari beach because it is less than 0.5KM from it. Every year I visit the church in December during the festival time. We can get positive vibes during the visit. The surroundings of the place are clean. Tourist’s people can visit the church on normal days because parking facilities are available.
