Yes folks here it is - the good news is that our grotto was blessed on Don Bosco's Feast 2009. Since our bishop could not make it - the task fell to the parish priest Fr. Matthew to do the honours. After a small prayer of blessing, the sprinkling of the grotto, the lighting of 7 candles and the blessing of Mary Help of Christians, we had time to celebrate and savour this moment...A picture is surely worth a thousand words...We raise a prayer of praise and thanks to God; to our benefactors - parishioners and other donors, some of other faiths; the architect; the construction crew, and the grotto committee - Messrs. Robin Susainathan, Wilson Pereira, Norbert DeSouza and Claude Noronha who coordinated the planning and building of the grotto. They gave of their time and talents, looking at plans, considering the aesthetics and the various elements that have gone into making our grotto a place where we can raise our hearts and minds to God through the intercession of Mary our blessed Mother.
