Help Restore The Sacred Heart Grotto
Restoring something to its original beauty gives one a sense of true accomplishment. Over the last two years, the Sacred Heart Grotto has returned to life. No more graffiti, broken glass and or destruction. Directional signs lead you to a place of peace and relaxation nestled in the Gunnar Anderson Forest Preserve. Once there, you can sit and take in the beauty of a Grotto built almost one hundred years ago. You can imagine the love that the Priests and Brothers of the Sacred Heart had as they said Mass everyday with the High School Seminarians. The transformation of the Grotto has been nothing short of amazing.
While the restoration project has been a volunteer effort, the time has come where costly items need to be addressed. The Geneva Grotto Organization is pleased to announce our first fundraising campaign. Memorial bricks will give everyone the opportunity to be part of the Sacred Heart restoration. Memorial bricks will be placed in two different areas of the grounds: the front two sections next to the center walkway on the first step and lining the center walkway from the creek to the cross walkway.
Thank you for your support of the Sacred Heart Grotto.
