St.Anne's Church Nesapakkam

St Anne's Church in Nesapakkam is a Catholic church featuring a central spire and stone construction that blends European and Indian architectural details. The building also includes a school and a multipurpose hall for community use.

The church was established in 1999 when Rev Fr Philip Manathra arrived as its first parish priest to lead the growing community. A grotto dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes was added to the grounds during 2010 to 2012, reflecting the expanding spiritual needs of the parish.

The church serves as a gathering place where the local Catholic community comes together for worship and community activities. Visitors can observe how the parish engages in social work that connects the place to everyday life in the neighborhood.

The church is walkable and has enough space on its grounds to accommodate visitors comfortably. It welcomes people for prayer and community gatherings throughout the week.

The church grounds feature a replica of a famous French shrine dedicated to Marian devotion and prayer. This copy shows how a local place honors a distant European religious tradition.
