Our Lady of Lanka Oratory

Our intention is to help families draw maximum spiritual benefits from their presence at the shrine of our Blessed Mother.

“Bearing this in mind, we strongly encourage all families to visit the shrine and pray together as members of the family.

We are confident that our Blessed Mother will guide and direct them to experience the living Jesus, as She has always done.

 

With the initiative of some devotees, a replica statue of Our Lady of Lanka was brought from Sri Lanka and placed within the premises of All Nations Marian Centre , Bacchus Marsh. Foundation stone was laid by Most Rev (Dr) Frank Marcus Fernando, then Bishop of Chilaw Diocese, Sri Lanka on the 9th April 2006 and consecrated by Most Rev (Dr) Frank Little, Emeritus Bishop of Melbourne on the 4th February 2007.
