Lord God, we pray today for all government officials all over the word. May they always seek and enact laws that are just for the good and benefit of all people. May they always seek counsel from you, who is the source of all knowledge, truth and wisdom. Unite them, Lord, as they pursue justice, harmony, peace and order. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.


St. Cyril of Jerusalem, pray for us.

The Grotto has been a special destination for millions of people throughout the world for generations. The good work of The Grotto has only been possible through the generous support of individuals and organizations who want to see The Grotto continue its mission of being a place of solitude, peace and prayer.


The cost of maintaining a 54-acre shrine, open daily, is immense. We need your help now more than ever.


Our Friends of The Grotto program is a wonderful way to help The Grotto and to enjoy special events and benefits.
