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.

We are grateful for your consideration, generosity, and outpouring of support!
