Overview
Spend the afternoon in peaceful exploration and meditation while exploring this amazing location. Spanning 62-acres it offers a haven of peace, prayer, and natural beauty for everyone. The vision is to remain a place where the human spirit finds peace and comfort. The shrine's story began in the late 19th century with a young boy in Kitchener, Ontario. After his mother nearly died giving birth, he promised to undertake a great work for the Church if she survived. She did, and the boy, who became Father Ambrose Mayer, kept his promise. Designated a National Sanctuary in 1983, The Grotto has attracted over ten million visitors. It continues to welcome people globally, offering spiritual and natural serenity, honoring Mary, the Sorrowful Mother of Jesus. The Grotto evolves to meet the needs of a changing world, fulfilling the dream and promise of Father Mayer through the dedication of those who serve here. Admission to the Upper Gardens is not included; pay on-site if desired.
