Grotto of the Redemption

m
  This is amazing! Father Paul Dobberstein, along with Matt
Szerensce  and Father Louis Greving, built the grotto using petrified wood, malachite, azurite, agates, geodes, jasper, quartz, topaz, calcite, stalactites and stalagmites all carefully cemented into place. Every surface is decorated with stones and crystals. A small museum has displays and a movie about building the grotto. Guided tours are available.

  The grotto is accessible. It’s built in levels with ramps to all of the levels except the very top one. The museum and the movie are also accessible.

  The parking lot is large enough for any RV. Grotto
