Description:
Officially known as the National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother, this 62-acre site offers a beautiful place to meditate and to view statuary and gardens. The plaza level, lush with greenery, also houses a rock-carved grotto with a replica of the Pietà (Mary holding the crucified Jesus' body) within. A 10-story elevator ride up the nearby mountain delivers visitors to incredible views, well-maintained gardens, and the stunning meditation chapel. You'll also find reflecting pools, a host of traditionally-styled artwork, and a conference center. There is an extensive Mass schedule; call for times and details. A gift shop and refreshments are available as well.
