St. Mary, Queen of Peace Basilica, Minor basilica in Palayam, Thiruvananthapuram, India
The St. Mary, Queen of Peace Basilica stands in the Palayam district with white walls and features inscriptions promoting peace in multiple languages.
Archbishop Mar Ivanios laid the foundation stone in 1950, and Pope John Paul II visited this cathedral during his India tour in February 1986.
The basilica represents the fusion of Syro-Malankara Catholic traditions with Roman Catholicism, marking a significant religious transition in Kerala's history.
Religious services occur twice daily on Sundays at 6:30 AM and 5:30 PM, while weekday masses take place at 6:15 AM.
The remains of three prominent archbishops - Mar Ivanios, Benedict Mar Gregorios, and Cyril Mar Baselios - rest within this pro-cathedral.
