Remarks:
The Grotto is staffed by the Order of the Servants of Mary. It was founded in 1924 by Servite Friar Ambrose Mayer, who envisioned a place of retreat for experiencing the presence of God in nature. The sculptures were added at later various times. Given in memory of Edward and Mary Devaney, this piece was executed in Gessinggen, Germany. It is positioned so that Christ's proper right hand points to the "Statue of Mary" (OR000154). IAS files include a pamphlet and brochure drafts from the Grotto.
