St. Bridget Parish is building a Marian Grotto
St. Bridget parish is building a Marian Grotto on the church grounds to show our love and admiration for the Blessed Mary. In line with our Irish roots of St Bridget, the marble statue will be that of Our Lady of Knock, and will be surrounded by granite stonework and beautiful landscaping . The Grotto will be a peaceful space for meditation and prayerful contemplation. Below is a computer-generated depiction of what we hope the finished grotto will look like.
