Join us for a special evening as we celebrate the Dedication of the Grotto of Our Lady of the Fields—a sacred space created to honour the Blessed Virgin Mary and reflect the strength and devotion of our parish community.
We are pleased to welcome Most Reverend Yvan Mathieu, S.M., Auxiliary Bishop of Ottawa-Cornwall, who will preside over the dedication ceremony.
Important Details:
-
Please park in the St. Patrick Parish parking lots and walk to the cemetery.
-
Seating at the Grotto is very limited. Feel free to bring a lawn chair if standing for the duration of the ceremony may be difficult.
-
A reception with refreshments and light snacks will follow in Monsignor Baxter Parish Hall.
A Testament to Faith and Community
While a few final touches are still to come—the fastening of the benches, the installation of the dedication plaque, marble altar—the Grotto is ready to be blessed and shared with all. This moment marks the culmination of a heartfelt effort rooted in faith and generosity.
We extend sincere thanks and congratulations to Charles Tierney, whose vision and patronage brought this dream to life, and to the Stewards of the Grotto Committee for their steadfast dedication and care throughout the journey.
