The boys don’t have camp this week so I took them on my own fieldtrip: Ave Maria Grotto in Cullman, where I got my love of art environments. And now that they’re older and able to better consider construction, this will be great for a project we have coming up this summer: art-a-day.
I have a set on Flickr of some previous visits to the Grotto. Here are some from this visit:
Brother Joseph’s last piece was completed in 1958. Just in the last few years, another craftsman has come forward to add pieces to the Grotto.
‘Bascilica of Jasna Gora’:
The Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help:
Once we were done, we walked over to the Abbey Church.
