“Serenity” The Grotto”

Today I spent a beautiful few hours at The Grotto in Portland, Oregon. Warm weather in an inspirational setting was a wonderful way to spend Friday the 13th. The Grotto is a beautiful 62 acre Catholic Shrine and botanical garden is located in Portland, Oregon. The Grotto (as it is commonly called) is a non-profit Oregon corporation, supported solely by the proceeds of its gift shop and by donations. It is administered by the Order of Friar Servants of Mary.
