Shrine Basilica of Our Lady of Dolours is laid on 21st December, 1929 by
His Excellency Mar Francis Vazhappilly, the Late Bishop of Thrissur. The
church was blessed on 24th November, 1940. When they built the church
they also built two bell towers in the front of the church in 140 feet
and envisaged another bell tower in the back of the church in 260 feet.
They could not build that bell tower in the back side of the church
because of the lack of money. But it was the dream of the Catholics in
Thrissur.
The reconstruction of that bell tower started in 2002 when the present
Auxiliary Bishop of Thrissur Mar Andrews Thazhath was the Rector of the
Basilica. In 2004 when all the bishops of India were present here in
Thrissur for the CBCI General Assembly held in Thrissur His Eminence
Cardinal Daud Moosa blessed that Tower in the name Bible Tower. His
Excellency Most Reverend Dr Pedro Lopez Quintana was also present for
the function and dedicated the Bible tower for World Peace.
