Upcoming Special Days and Events
Dedication of our new Saint Michael statue
Saturday, October 2
Immediately following 12 PM Mass
Mass and statue dedication will be held in the Grotto Cave weather permitting
Please join us as we dedicate our new statue of Saint Michael the Archangel,
the leader of all angels and of the army of God.
This beautiful statue is a gift to our visitors from a generous donor and was recently installed near the Grotto Cave.
St. Michael has four main responsibilities or offices, as we know from scripture and Christian tradition.
- The first is to combat Satan.
- The second is to escort the faithful to heaven at their hour of death.
- The third is to be a champion of all Christians, and the Church itself.
- And the fourth is to call men from life on Earth to their heavenly judgment.
FEAST OF OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY
Thursday, October 7, 2021
Mass
11 AM
Rosary Procession through grounds of Grotto
Immediately following mass
The feast of Our Lady of the Rosary was instituted to honor Mary for the Christian victory over the Turks at Lepanto on October 7, 1571.
Pope St. Pius V and all Christians had prayed the Rosary for victory.
In modern times successive popes have urged the faithful to pray the Rosary. It is a form of contemplative prayer, mental and vocal prayer, which brings down God’s blessing on the Church. It is a biblically inspired prayer which is centered on meditation on the salvific mysteries of Christ in union with Mary, who was so closely associated with her Son in his redeeming activity.
The Fourth Anniversary of the Shrine of Saint Sharbel
Saturday, October 9
HOLY MASS
12 PM
St. Mary's Glass Chapel
Arabic hymns will be incorporated into this anniversary mass and
there will be a special blessing with St Sharbel's relic at the end of the liturgy.
One of the ways God is manifesting His divine power today is through the numerous miracles happening across the world through the intercession of St. Sharbel. In 2018, the National Shrine Grotto added a shrine in honor of St. Sharbel to provide a prayerful and peaceful site where visitors from across the country can experience God’s saving and healing power, celebrate God’s loving presence, and pray to St. Sharbel to intercede on their behalf.
In recognition of this anniversary,
we are offering a 10% discount on all Saint Sharbel items in our gift shop on Oct 9.

The Eucharistic Miracles of the World
Saturday, October 23
10 AM - 4:00 PM
An International Exhibition Designed and created by Carlo Acutis
In the entire history of the Catholic Church, there have been numerous Eucharistic miracles approved by the Catholic Church as truly worthy of belief. The Vatican Eucharistic Miracles Photographic Exhibition faithfully recounts for us many well documented miraculous occurrences. Knowledge of these miracles strengthens our faith in Christ and His Church. They are visible proof of Jesus Christ’s Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist.
The Exhibit was created by Blessed Carlo Acutis, a 15 year old from Milan, Italy who was just Beatified on October 10, 2020.
Students of Mount St. Mary's University and National Shrine Grotto staff have put together a selection of 25 of these inspiring posters to share with our visitors.
This incredible exhibit will be available for viewing at the Grotto on October 23. We highly encourage you to come view the exhibit this as a way to celebrate the Year of the Eucharist.
ST. JOSEPH: Our Father in Faith Retreat Day
with Our Chaplain, Father Ted Trinko
Saturday, November 6
During this year in honor of St. Joseph, join us at the National Shrine Grotto for a day of reflection on the husband of the Mother of God. Mary would have loved her husband dearly and wants us to see him as our father just as she is our mother. By pondering what the Sacred Scriptures, Tradition, and the Church's Magisterium have to say about the Savior's foster-father, we will discover who this man of silence really was. His way of life speaks volumes to us about how we are to live as disciples of his son, Jesus Christ.
