Wonderful Weather for the Festival

 

It's that time of year again, and what wonderful weather we are having for The Grotto's Christmas Festival of Lights! Open now through Dec. 30, except Christmas Day, this annual event celebrates the true meaning of Christmas with music, lights and joy.


Known as the world's largest Christmas Choral Festival, more than 150 choirs will perform over the course of 36 nights in the Chapel of Mary, with its cathedral-like acoustics. 

 

There are nightly puppet shows and caroling in the pavilion tent, and don't forget the millions of lights! Back by popular demand - our giant, walk-thru Christmas tree.

 

So get your tickets now and consider taking advantage of our value nights.


Please bring a non-perishable food item for SnowCap.

CHOIR SCHEDULE
Daily Prayer

“The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.”


Our Lord and King, may all people on earth recognize you as their only Lord and King. As we celebrate today, Christ, King of the Universe, we pray for unity and peace in the whole world, in every country and city, in the Church and in every family. May Jesus, our Lord and King, help us imitate his example of service and love unselfishly. That true greatness and leadership are revealed and perfected in humble service out of love. Help us grow, Lord, in this way every day. May we serve in every person we meet, especially those in dire need, those victims of war, those deprived of their rights and dignity and economic injustice. These we pray, in Jesus' Name. Amen. 


Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, have mercy on us.
