Grotto Stories

Great book, received it promptly and I had a hard time finding any one who carried it, so I feel lucky that I found this copy. Thank you.

A special place for the heart and soul

"Faith is at the very heart of this University's life and mission, and the Grotto is at the very heart of Notre Dame." These words were written by Rev. Daniel Jenky, C.S.C. in his forward to Grotto Stories. For more than 100 years, the Grotto has been a home, a place of refuge, and a source of strength for students, parents and those who love Notre Dame. Grotto Stories is a remarkable collection of stories, memoirs and anecdotes about how this special place has touched the lives of so many. Among the moving memoirs are the couples who met there and later married; the father, whose prayers for his children, his family and finally for himself were never left unanswered; and the lone visitor who witnessed the beauty of the Grotto covered in snow, while listening to the recitation of the rosary. This is one of those books to pick up and read when you're discouraged or facing a crisis or dilemma in your life. These stories will bring a tear to your eye and a smile to your lips and you will never forget them. Historical information and photographs from the Grotto's history are also included. Many of these are from the research of the originator of the project, Dorothy Corson
