           Construction commenced on this, the third shrine at Ta Pinu Marian Centre, dedicated to Our Lady Mother of Good Health Valenkanni, on the 5^th July 2006. This was the third shrine to be raised at Ta Pinu Marian Centre. Construction subsequently ceased on the 8^th September 2006. The Inauguration of the shrine was held on the 24^th  September 2006, commencing at 2:00pm with a concelebrated Mass by Fr Kennett L Satur, Fr Johnny Joseph, and Fr John Aravankara. The Sermon was conducted by Fr Satur at the main Chapel. Afterwards, a procession was carried out, leading from the Chapel to the shrine.  At 3:30pm, Fr Satur blessed the shrine and enthroned the statue of Our Lady. The Indian Catholic Community of Victoria Choir conducted the music during the inauguration. Although it was raining heavily on the day, well over 1,500 people attended, signifying the success of the event and the sense of achievement by the Indian Catholic Community in raising the shrine. On every second Sunday of the month, at 2.00pm, Mass and other devotions are held by the Indian Catholic Community at Ta Pinu Marian Centre.
