The kids & I decided to visit
The Grotto today. We hadn't been for several years and thought it would be fun to walk the 62 acre park.
The beautiful Grotto.
Elevator: 110 feet to the park above.
If you go, take $4.00 to ride the elevator.
The money is used for
maintenance of the Grotto & the surrounding park.
Meditation Room
Grotto Monastery
New last year: The Grotto Labyrinth
Fun Fact: I found out today that my friend Sarah got engaged at The Grotto.
I love that!
Spotted in the park: a monk!
St. Thaddeus
Not being Catholic, I wasn't sure who St. Thaddeus was.
According to
Wikipedia, he was one of the 12 Apostles.
Spotted near the elevator: a nun!
Prayer candles
Our prayer candle
No words needed.
Close up.
It was good day to reflect on what we're thankful for & for remembering the people/things on our prayer list.

Pretty! We've only been there once in the daylight. Chris proposed during the Christmas light extravaganza they put on each year.... in the rain with all the twinkly lights.... my heart went pitter patter!
