The Grotto remains closed this weekend

The Grotto will be closed today, Saturday, Jan. 20, and tomorrow, Sunday, Jan. 21, due to storm damage and cleanup. This includes all Masses.

As soon as the ice melts, crews will get to work to make The Grotto safe so we can open our doors as soon as possible.

Please check our website, thegrotto.org, for updates about reopening. Stay tuned for information about how you can help.

Lord, there is beauty in the starkness of winter. When I pause to look at a barren tree or ice-covered shrub, I am surprised to see buds on every branch, waiting for the proper time to open and bloom. You have given each of us gifts that have yet to awaken and bloom. Nurture us as you do the trees and shrubs, so that in time, our gifts may mature and be shared with others.

Amen.
