Servant of God Joseph Thamby

The Province of Mary Matha has a servant of God called Joseph Thamby. We paid a visit to his tomb. This place is visited by all irrespective of religion and creed. Every week about 40,000 faithful visit this place. The annual feast is celebrated on 15th january and on this day the huge crowds come from all walks of life. The friars are working hard to make him known all over India
