Why Light at Our Grotto

Humans have been lighting fires in sacred spots to fuel faith for centuries.
Thus there are places on the planet that are extra special – e.g., those areas of concentration that have advanced the spirits of men and nature.
One of those special places is the Vatican. It is built in the Roman foothills that witnessed the death of Peter, thus it makes sense that the soil infused with the blood of Saint Peter has stood the test of time as the earthly seat and center for His church. Combine this sacred ground with the millions of millions of humans over the ages who have visited, honored, and infused those grounds with their heavenly intentions, and wow – one sacred spot.
Saint Joseph’s Grotto is another one of those sacred places that continues to advance the spirits of men and nature.
Accordingly, we invite you to add your intentions to our flickering flames of faith and hope!
