The iconic statue of Our Blessed Mother, that has sat high above the Grotto for over 60 years as a beacon of hope, is currently undergoing critical interior support restoration.
We need your help to cover these unexpected costs as we work diligently to bring her back by the end of summer.

This beautiful mountain shrine features one of the oldest American replicas of the Lourdes shrine in France, built about two decades after the apparition of Mary at Lourdes in 1858, and attracts hundreds of thousands of pilgrims each year from all over the world. It offers the occasion for a deepening conversion, a step forward in the journey to God, with Mary as the model for that journey. Hours
