Almighty God, on this feast of the Holy Innocents, we weep for all children who have died, and for mothers and fathers and family members and friends who grieve for their children. Comfort them all in their time of loss; reassure them that their loved ones are with you, and that one day we may all share in eternal life with you and all our dearly departed loved ones.

Amen.

Festival Information

The Grotto's Christmas Festival of Lights will continue nightly through Friday, Dec. 30. This annual event celebrates the true meaning of Christmas with music, lights and joy.

More than 150 choirs will perform over the course of 35 nights in the Chapel of Mary, with its cathedral-like acoustics. 
 
There are nightly puppet shows and caroling in the pavilion tent, and music all around the grounds. And don't forget the millions of lights! New this year - a giant, walk-thru Christmas tree.
 
Tickets are sold in advance. No cash sales at the door.

Please bring a non-perishable food item for SnowCap.
Thank you to our Pavilion Sponsor

We are grateful to all our sponsors who help make the Festival possible. This year, we give special thanks to Elmer's Restaurants for their sponsorship of our Pavilion tent and the entertainment under it each night. After last week's storm, the large tent was damaged by the ice. We were able to replace the tent and reopen the Festival last night thanks to their generous support.
Gift Shop Hours: 9 a.m. - 10 p.m.

We invite you to come and explore the store and its many treasures.
