Gathering at the Grotto
This has become one of our favorite event series ever—a vibrant, laid-back way to build community and introduce others to the Catholic faith in a joyful, welcoming environment.
It all began in the summer of 2017, when we hosted our inaugural Gathering at the Grotto series, focused on Catholic Reflections on the Protestant Reformation. Fr. Brian Larkin, along with specially invited guests, led engaging talks on fascinating subtopics, sparking thoughtful conversation and deep reflection.
Each night, the grotto lawn came alive with brats, beverages, and a beautiful mix of parishioners and visitorsgathered under the stars. The crowd often spilled beyond the lawn as people came to learn, connect, and grow in faith together.
Since then, Gathering at the Grotto has grown into something truly special—a tradition we look forward to every year, where faith, fellowship, and fun go hand in hand.
It’s completely free to attend—though donations are always welcome and appreciated if you feel called to give!
