Greetings,
 
May has arrived and the gardens are full of color. The rhododendrons are spectacular and flowers are popping up everywhere. What a wonderful time of year!
 
The Grotto is now operating on its summer hours. The Visitor Complex will close at 5 p.m. Tokens to the Upper Level Gardens will be sold until 7:30 p.m.; The Grotto Gift Shop will close at 7:30 PM. The Chapel doors will close at 8:00 p.m., but the grounds will stay open until 8:30 p.m. each evening.
 
Along with the new hours comes the addition of the Sunday Mass at 12 noon. The noon Mass will take place outdoors in The Grotto Plaza, weather permitting. The 10 a.m. Sunday Mass will remain in the Chapel.
 
We hope to see you at The Grotto very soon!

Thursday Afternoons 3:30 -4:30
May 13-July 1, 2010

We will study the Book of Revelation to see how it can console us in rough times, and how it focuses on historical events to show God's justice and sovereignty over good and evil. It will help us to keep living as God's chosen ones.
 
Spiritual directors Fr. Ignatius Kissel, OSM, and Patricia Flynn, will guide the study, reflection, and sharing. Cost for materials: $15. Registration is required; call 503-254-7371 or e-mail: [email protected] or register online below.
 
Our group will meet in the auditorium located in The Grotto administrative office. You may bring your own Bible.
