St. Anthony Shrine Kerekatte | Drone views

The story goes back to the beginning of Christian presence in this region. Some 400 years ago, Christianity from Goa began to spread in the Coastal Konkan region. It is said that more than 300 years ago in this remote village of Kerekatte, a farmer, while ploughing his field found a small wooden statue of St Anthony. Though he and the local people were non-Christians, they began to venerate this statue. Rev Fr Joseph Vaz (now Saint) visited this place in 1684 and placed the statue in a new thatched hut, for public veneration. Thus started the devotion to St Anthony in Kerekatte. Many people, especially commuters, cart and vehicle drivers began to visit the shrine to pray and to pay their tribute to St Anthony. The quiet revolution that started almost three centuries ago continues even now with a steady flow of devotees. In the last 50 years, there has been much increase in the number of devotees visiting Kerekatte. In 1940-41 , Bishop Victor Fernandes permitted the building of a modest structure for a shrine ('gudi') for the statue of St Anthony. He also entrusted this Shrine to the care of Rev. Fr Aloysius Rosario, the then parish priest of Basrur. Fr Placid Pereira built a prayer hall with tiled roof for Mass in 1967. Fr Joe Mary Shenoy is responsible for renovating this sub-station and erecting a 13 feet high statue of St Antony on March 15, 1977 under the guidance of Bishop Basil S. D'Souza. A local stone sculptor carved this statue which was erected facing the road and the Shrine. The successive parish priests of Basrur along with the Shrine committee, have worked for the improvement of this Shrine and provided better facilities for the pilgrims.
