About St. Alphonsa's Tomb
Alphonsa was proclaimed ‘Venerable’ on 9 November 1984. Pope John Paul II declared her ‘Blessed’ at the concelebrated mass at Kottayam on 8 February 1986. Following her canonization by Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican on 12 October 2008, the tomb of the Saint became an international pilgrim centre.
