After several months of hard labor and love our Marian Grotto is completed. This beautiful shrine dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, stands as a testament to our community’s unwavering devotion and faith, embodying our collective commitment to honoring Mary and seeking her intercession in our lives. The grotto is located on the back side of the church facing the St. Joseph School. We are grateful to all those who supported this project. We extend heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Jesús De La Cruz and his company, “Creative Pool & Patio Construction Solutions:” for the generous donation of labor and additional supplies towards the beautiful Grotto. We also thank Mr. Martin Alvarez and his company “Misty Meadows” who has added the finishing touches with professional landscaping services to enhance the beauty of this outdoor space, and to Cristian Carrillo-Murillo for providing the electrical work.

As part of the National Eucharist Revival, we are offering the book “This Is My Body” by Bishop Barron for those who would like a great book to read. In this book, Bishop Barron offers a threefold analysis of the Eucharist as a sacred meal, sacrifice and Real Presence, helping readers to understand the sacrament of Jesus’ Body and Blood more thoroughly, precisely so that you might fall in love with the Lord more completely.” The books are located on the table in the narthex.
