As fellow parishioners were searching for places to purchase religious items many years ago, members of the Rosary Society decided to set up shop and use Altar Servers’ Sacristy (entrance near statue of the Sacred Heart) to set up a store allowing parishioners to purchase these items. Mary’s Grotto – as they named it – is a place where you can purchase bibles, rosary beads, statues of saints and numerous other religious items. They also offer items for holidays, such as Easter and Christmas and sacraments, as well – baptism, first holy communion, confirmation and marriage. The ladies are always willing to order an item for you if it is not available in the store. Mary’s Grotto is open from 8:15 to 1:15 every Sunday – hours are limited during the winter months after Christmas and during the summer, but you can always make an appointment to visit and make a purchase
