National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother This outdoor Catholic shrine was the brainchild of Canadian Servite Friar Ambrose Mayer (18??-19??). Assigned by the church to minister in Portland, OR in 1918, in 1923 Mayer identified a former quarry site whose natural beauty inspired him to create a shrine to the Virgin Mary. In 1924 Mayer purchased the site and mass was first celebrated at the grotto on 5/29/1924. It continues to he a place of worship overseen by the Servite Order. #portland #portlandoregon #thegrottopdx #nationalsanctuaryofoursorrowfulmother

The Grotto A catholic garden/grounds. ๐๐ป It was neat that they had shrines for other cultures Ladies/Saints. I made sure to have lunch at and support a queer owned business after visiting here. โค๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ค๐ฉถ The stone circle on the ground is a meditative labyrinthโฆit took awhile to complete ๐ #thegrottopdx #shrinesandtemples #gardens #meditativelabyrinth #supportyourlocalqueers #everywhereisqueer
Please join us for St. Joseph Young Adult Lenten pilgrimage to the Grotto (Shrine of Our Lady of Sorrow) on March 16th for Mass, reflection, time to pray and walk around the grounds. Carpools will be leaving St Joseph at 10 am. Mass will be said at 2 pm by Father Loftus. Before or after Mass, people are welcome to explore the upper gardens and admission is $9.95 for that. The lower gardens are free. Following Mass, we will meet at a brewery nearby for fun and fellowship. If you havenโt been to the Grotto, it is beautiful and absolutely should be on everyoneโs PNW bucket list! We really hope to see you there! May God bless you and Our Lady keep you! +++ #tacomacatholics #catholictacoma #tacoma #catholic #youngadults #catholicyoungadults #westernwashington #wwcatholicya #archdioceseofseattle #stjosephtacoma #fssp #tlm #latinmass #catholicism #catholiclife #catholictradition #catholicsofinstagram #christianity #christian #jesuschrist #jesus #holyspirit #alleluia #lent #lentenpilgrimage #thegrottopdx

ICHSA West Quarterfinals @ Sherwood HS in Oregon: @bahs_dynamics closed out the showcase and held their own in a field with last yearโs top two high school a cappella groups in the nation. Even though the Dynamics wonโt be advancing to the semifinals, they scored really well and received lots of great remarks from the judges and audience. Beyond proud of how well they did in their first ever competition and grateful for all the memories made on the trip.

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS!!!!! As promised, Iโm thrilled to share the breathtaking moments captured during Emma and Timโs engagement session at the Grotto!!! AH!! While looking at their photos, I want to equip anyone planning an engagement session at the Grotto with some advice because there are a few key considerations to keep in mind: โข๐ง๐ถ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐: Opting for a mid-morning session, like theirs, which was at 9 am, can provide a more serene atmosphere and ensure a little more privacy amidst the larger number of visitors in the later half of the day. โข๐ข๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐ป๐: Spring and summer are the best seasons to photograph! The Grottoโs upper garden is adorned with abundant blooming flowers, each petal a radiant homage to Mother Mary. Itโs worth the wait to witness this floral masterpiece in full bloom! โข๐๐ฒ๐ฒ: Thereโs a small fee to access the upper garden; meeting the warm-hearted staff at the front desk adds charm to the experience. Capturing moments amidst the Grottoโs sacred spaces was an absolute joy, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a meaningful environment for their special moment. Whether drawn to Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Joseph, or Santo Niรฑo de Cebรบ, the Grotto sings devotion and faith that can resonate with anyone in every corner. ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต๐๐, ๐พ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐, ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ ๐ถ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐โ๐๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐๐ผ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ด๐ผ! โข โข #thegrottopdx #thegrotto #oregonengagement #isaidyes #oregonengagementphotographer #catholicengagement #catholic #christianengagement #theknot #theknotoregon

Another great post from one of our awesome owners we wanted to share. Thanks @ericadagle "One often overlooked Portland gem that I adore is The Grotto. Seated on top of Rocky Butte in northeast Portland, this tranquil haven boasts 62-acres of enchanting botanical gardens. The upper level treats you to breathtaking views of the Columbia River, the Cascade Mountains, and Mount Saint Helens. I especially adore The Grotto during this time of year, as it transforms into the host of the Festival of Lights, the world's largest Christmas choral festival! Nearly 160 indoor holiday concerts featuring school, church, and community choirs. The entire place twinkles with lights, creating a stunning ambianceโtruly one of the most beautiful and peaceful ways to immerse yourself in the magic of the season. โจ๐ฒ Bonus tip: If you need help selling your home, pick up a St. Joseph statue from the gift shop. Saint Joseph, a carpenter and the patron of families and working people, is the saint that helps with home sales. Bury the saint in your yard (or display in a window) and itโs said that Saint Joseph will assist in an easy, quick sale." #portlandgrotto #thegrottopdx #christmasinportland #realestatetips #homesellingtips @thegrottopdx

Opera Cecilia year three at the Grotto Festival of Lights was a lovely and joy filled evening! I got to challenge myself with a Mozart work that I have always wanted to sing in a beautiful acoustical space. Tanis and Marcos sounded incredible in the Spanish set, and our pianist Jennifer was wonderful as ever. . We were let into the Grotto early for a recording session alone in the chapel, then we returned to help open the festival as live performers for its official first night! We had a lovely audience for our live performanceโฆ I couldnโt help but notice many phone cameras out recording usโฆ so not gonna lie we kind of felt like celebrities. ๐ . I got to break the ice on a four movement work for solo soprano, with everything from insanely long legato phrases, to challenging coloratura and optional cadenzas, high notes, and recitative. What an absolute thrill. We couldnโt have asked for this day to go any better, and with every single performance I always revive my deep love for singing. ๐๐ถ . Thank you to the staff @thegrottopdx for helping us pull off this day, and thank you to @materdeiradio for being so open to collaboration. Just a little editing to do and then we officially submit our recording for broadcast!

Itโs a beautiful time of year at #TheGrottoPDX ๐ Oh, Loving God, in todayโs reading we are encouraged to present ourselves as a new creation. Give me the grace today to do my best with the help of Christ to transform myself to His new creation and to be free to live totally as Your new creation. I live with so many distractions that clamor for my attention. Allow me to focus more directly to see the disrepair in my life when I stray from Jesus. Sometimes I do not see the transformation Christ has done in my life and is still doing. Allow me to present myself as a new creation that You have worked in me. I praise and thank you for giving me access to Your grace so I may live a new life. Amen.
