Almighty Father, today we pray reconciliation and forgiveness of sins. We know that we hurt and offend you whenever we offend and hurt others. As we gather today as you children, help us with our weaknesses and restore us in your love. Help us to reconcile with one another. We know that you are always there waiting for us to come home. Grant us humility to recognize our shortcomings. Make us worthy of the feast you have prepared for each one of us in your Church today. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

St. Patrick, 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.
