Lilliya Seya- Sinhala Him to Mother Mary.
Be blessed, O most pure Virgin, for having vouchsafed to manifest your shining with life, sweetness and beauty, in the Grotto of Lourdes, saying to the child, St. Bernadette: "I am the Immaculate Conception." A thousand times we congratulate you upon your Immaculate Conception. And now, O ever Immaculate Virgin, Mother of mercy, Health of the sick, Refuge of sinners, Comforter of the afflicted, you know our wants, our troubles, our sufferings deign to cast upon us a look of mercy.
By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes, you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary, whence you dispense your favors, and already many have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and physical. We come, therefore, with the most unbounded confidence to implore your maternal intercession. Obtain for us, O loving Mother, the granting of our request.

Most Rev. Fr. Jacome Gonsalvez.
Fr. Jacome Gonsalvez, who could be considered as the creator of Catholic Culture in Sri Lanka.
Fr. Jacome Gonsalvez was born in the year 1676 in Goa and was ordained a priest of the Oratorian Order in 1700. He relinquished the post of lecturer at the University of Goa, to join blessed Joseph Vaz in the missionary activity in Sri Lanka.
When Blessed Joseph Vaz landed in Sri Lanka in 1687 under the guise of a coolie, Catholic activity had almost disappeared in the island due to the Dutch persecution.
The Sinhala and Tamil works of the Portuguese missionaries were not there. He realised that the faithful should be provided with sufficient Sinhala and Tamil prayers and religious literature more specially because, the Catholic priests were not allowed to officiate in the Dutch territory. He entrusted this task to his assistant, companion and successor Fr. Jacome Gonasalvez.
Fr. Jacome Gonsalvez like Blessed Joseph Vaz, was a Konkani Brahmin by lineage.

Today, the feast of Saint Anne is celebrated at the hallowed National Shrine in Talavila under the patronage of the Chief Shepherd of the Diocese, Rt. Rev. Dr. Devsritha Valence Mendis. The energetic administrator of the shrine, Very Rev. Fr. Luke Nelson Perera has made arrangements to conduct the feast befittingly with special attention to the spiritual needs of the pilgrims that throng to Talavila from all over the country. I am sure the meaningful projects that have been launched towards the development of the shrine and its environs will surely gladden the pilgrims.
In the golden sands of Talavila, the trammels of civilization and the artificial conventions of society are cast aside for plain living and simple thinking; religion begins to occupy its right place, which is the first place. The sense of Christian charity and Catholic solidarity begins to grow in the pilgrim’s heart at the historical shrine where our forefathers have knelt, prayed and offered their supplications and …More
