This is sacred place to all the Catholic community. This church had a big history and a lot of miracles has happened in this premises. So believe in God and enter the premises so your prayers will definitely be heard.
Sacred place among the Catholics of Sri Lanka. The road to the church is quite well maintained. Worth a visit even if you are not a Catholic.
Very sacred place among Catholics. Located in the middle of nowhere and for years under war church was inaccessible for most. Yet in the seasons the place fills with devotees. The church has lots of accommodation facilities for visitors.
A place which has a historical cost and a worship place.
The Church is a wonder in itself and definitely worth a visit if you have a morsel of interest in Silent prayers ! It is indeed, very beautiful temple
Roman Catholic church, calm and peaceful one. You can rent houses for stay.
Road to Madhu is very good, you can drive any car. Go and sacrifice at least once yourself. Thank you, God bless!
A must visit place for any catholic. A peaceful house of prayer which has many miraculous activities located 40+ kilometers from Madawachchiya.. For accomodation there are so many houses which maintained by the church with limited basic facilities. Yet they are close to the church. Other than that, there is a good guest house which is known as the Palmyrah garden hotel which is 11 kilometers away from the church (right at the madu road runction). There is a restaurent close to the shrine which has a good selection of meals. So If you are visiting this place, do not worry about accomodation and meals.
A lonely spacious place. During festival time it seems to be as a small village. Place to worship.
Good place for peace of mind..
Place for prayers and peace. Wish people don't pollute soo much though
One of the most blessed churches in Sri Lanka for Catholics.
People have experienced many miracles in this church.
It's the place for peace and relax.
A Marian shrine in the middle of a forest. On ordinary days, a quiet church for meditation and prayer; on festival days, bustling with thousands of pilgrims.
Amazing place with history and clutch
Catholic famous church situated in Northern Province.

One of the most famous Catholic churches. Most importanatly its a sort of peace monument for both Sinhalese and Tamil Catholics. For more than 20 years Sinhalese could n't visit this shrine due to Sri Lankan Civil war which ended in 2009 May.
I have often thought with wonder of the great goodness of Mary and my soul has rejoiced in the contemplation of Her great magnificence and mercy. May she be blessed for ever! For I see clearly that she has not omitted to reward me, even in this life, for every one of my good desires
