The Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes on Allan's Island,

Lamaline, was originally placed there in 1953 by Mabel

Haley as an act of Thanksgiving to God for her recovery

from TB. Over the years it had fallen into disrepair. A Parish

Committee raised funds for its restoration as part of

preparations for the Year of Faith. This restoration included

new statues, a new sign and improved grounds. Archbishop

Currie will preside at a Mass at the restored Grotto on

September 8th at 5PM.
