Value Night Tonight

The Grotto's Christmas Festival of Lights is underway! 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, happening tonight, and next week, from Dec. 4-7.

Please bring a non-perishable food item for SnowCap.

A Prayer for Peace

Ever living, Ever loving God,

Our world is in need of your Peace. Fill the hearts of all peoples with honor for every human life. May your loving touch heal those who dwell in anger, pain and sorrow. May your Holy Spirit reconcile and unify strangers and neighbors.

I, too, am in need of your Peace. Plant your words of healing and understanding within my heart. Give me strength to live peace, and speak peace, and be a peacemaker.

I humbly ask this through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.
