Looking for something to do this summer? Along with walking some of the awesome state parks in Connecticut, why not visit one of our local shrines?
Start with the only shrine in the Bridgeport Diocese, Saint Margaret's Shrine. Stroll along paths to visit individual shrines to various saints such as Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Guadelupe, Our Lady of Charity, Our Lady of Lourdes, Our Lady of Lavanga, St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, St. Sebastian, and St. Margaret as well as the two chapels on site, the St. Anthony Chapel and the St. Padre Pio Chapel as well as a veteran memorial. Did you know the Knights of Columbus host a Stations of the Cross at this shrine every Lent?

Then there's the Shrine of Lourdes in Litchfield which is open from dawn till sunset, offering a place of peace and prayer under cool shade. Along with visiting a replica of the Grotto of Lourdes, walk the Way of the Cross under a canopy of trees and stroll paths to smaller shrines of the Sacred Heart, St. Joseph, St. Jude, St. Michael, and St. Louis de Montfort. Didi you know the Knights of Columbus hold an annual living rosary at this shrine every October?
If you're a male 18 years old or older, why not consider walking side by side with the Knights of Columbus? Our last three members joined the Order, completed their Exemplification of Charity, Unity and Fraternity, and transferred our council 13228 here at Our Lady of Grace,... all online! You can join just as easily. (visit out website contact page)
