Meet the priest outside the Visitor Center while the renovation continues.
Gracious God,
May joy and peace fill our hearts. May we continue to grow closer to you every day of our life. We pray today that as we have received much love from you, may we, too, love more. May we care and respect all people. May we become the models of your love and grace. May the world become a better place for us to live through our way of life, through the love that we show to all people.
Amen.
This week, as we continue our centennial celebration, we will bring you the beauty and serenity of the various gardens found throughout the sanctuary.
Which garden is your favorite?
Today:Mysteries of the Rosary
Mysteries of the Rosary Path
Incorporated into the landscaping of the Peace Garden are the Mysteries of the Rosary. They are magnificently depicted in individual bronze plaques grouped into the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and Luminous mysteries.
When entering the garden and walking through the winding path in the fullness of summer, you become very aware of darkness and light. That concept was incorporated with purpose to remind us that we are walking into the mystery of our redemption. The Mysteries of the Rosary tell that story.
Exquisite Art in a Serene Setting
Surrounded by forest, water and flowering shrubs, this gallery in the woods is inspiring to all.
The Four Seasons
The garden surrounding the Mysteries of the Rosary is beautiful all year long.
Your Sanctuary of Peace
We invite you all to come and enjoy the serenity of the garden, and view the beautiful Mysteries of the Rosary
Wine Tasting Tomorrow
Saturday, July 13
2-5 p.m.
The Grotto Conference Center
Join us for an afternoon of wine tasting, followed by a guided tour through our Upper Gardens.
Chillable Reds have become incredibly popular over the last several years and are perfect for summer sipping in the sun. Chillable Reds are lighter in tannins, making them enjoyable to those who typically shy away from red wine. This class will include a flight of six wines, a hearty selection of snacks, and a guided tour of our Upper Gardens to end the afternoon.
