Spring is here and Sister Mary Bratrsovsky is working around Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto. There are a variety of flowers that she wants to revive or plant, clear away debris and make the area presentable for devotional visits.
The grotto is graced with a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of the Immaculate Conception. It is a replica of her image as she appeared to Benadette Soubirous in Lourdes, France. Bernadette's statue is also there in a kneeling position below the Virgin's. She is holding a candle and appears to be looking up at the virgin, listening to the message our Lady has for her. This apparition took place in 1858. That makes this year the 150th anniversary year. With this grotto on our premises, we are reminded of the miracles of faith that occured and are still occuring at Lourdes in France.
