Celebrating Advent at The Grotto

Loving God, the prophet Isaiah wrote that “a shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse, and from his roots a bud shall blossom.” This family tree from the remnants of the scattered tribes of Israel brought forth Jesus. In spite of the brokenness and woundedness of the descendants, a Savior was born for us. During this season of Advent, help each of us, wounded and broken as we are, to find ways to bring new life and goodness into our world. Help us to continue the work of Jesus, our promised Messiah. Amen.

The Grotto's Christmas Festival of Lights is back and will continue nightly through Dec. 30 (except Christmas Day). 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.

So get your tickets now, and consider taking advantage of our value night pricing tonight through Thursday of this week. Tickets are sold in advance. No cash sales at the door.

Please bring a non-perishable food item for SnowCap.
