Gathering at the Grotto

WHY GATHER?

In the summer of 2017, we held our inaugural Gathering at the Grotto series on Catholic Reflections of the Protestant Reformation. Fr. Brian Larkin and his specially invited guests spoke of intriguing subtopics within this category. Brats, beverages, and bros (and sisters!) abounded for several nights under the stars. We had parishioners and visitors alike, spilling out of the grotto lawn, to gather and grow in their faith, and it was amazing.

Hope you are able to join us for our fifth-almost-annual-with-the-exception-of-the-COVID-19-time-warp Gathering at the Grotto series! It’s free! What a great opportunity to grow in your faith!
