A Look Back at the Shrine Feast of the Mother of Divine Grace in Mokama

On the first Sunday in February the Shrine Feast of the Mother of Divine Grace takes place in Mokama just outside of the SCN Convent in Mokama. Thousands of villagers from all around the state of Bihar, the Archdioceses of Patna and Ranchi, and even farther parts of India and Nepal, visit the holy shrine to pray to Holy Mary of Mokama.

People make the pilgrimage with aspirations of healing. The morning of the Shrine Feast a healing mass is held by the Most Rev. Archbishop William D’Souza, S.J., followed by a procession around the shrine.
