The Grotto

The Grotto (the National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother) is a Catholic shrine in Portland. It’s maintained by the Order of the Friar Servants of Mary. The Grotto itself is a shrine carved into the side of a cliff. However, the grounds include the Chapel of Mary (where they hold mass), the Medidation Chapel which overlooks Mt. St. Helens and the airport, and two separate gardens. It’s very beautiful, very peaceful and has spectacular views so bring your camera!
