Prayers and Religious Ceremonies
On the sixth day of the eight-day Fast, the deeply religious and very colourful Rasa procession carrying thousands of ornamental umbrellas and several gold and silver crosses takes a route around these crosses and the Small Church Pilgrims' Quarters
Facilities were constructed in 1976 on the northern side of the church to provide shelter to pilgrims arriving from far away places who wish to attend services and ceremonies in the Pallimeda (Office complex) built in 1934. The 1972 Manimalika and two parish halls constructed in 1973 and 1990 comprise the remaining buildings at the church compound.
