Festival Continues Tonight

The Grotto's Christmas Festival of Lights is here! 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.

“I will rejoice in your salvation, O Lord.”

Lord God, console the hearts of those who mourn and suffer, especially those whose loved ones were killed from war and natural disasters. Send generous and caring people to support and assist their needs. Transform their sorrows into joy, Lord. May everyone turn to you for help. Finally, we commend to your loving mercy all the dead, especially members of our family and friends who have died. Please forgive all their sins and grant them eternal peace. Grant all these in Jesus' Name.

Amen.
