Lord our God, grant us today the courage and strength to bear our sufferings and carry our own cross. Grant us the eyes to see redemptive fruits in bearing the hardships and struggles for the sake in pursuing the good and true. For indeed, there will be no Resurrection if there is no Crucifixion. Make us then realize and appreciate the importance and value of hardship and suffering in our daily life and Christians. Grant all this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

St. Cuthbert, 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.
