We visited this beautiful 62-acre Catholic shrine and botanical garden. I'm glad that I have the chance to visit amazing places in Portland Oregon.
“The Grotto” is the popular name of The National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother.
We're blessed to met Fr. Alby the parish priest who used to be the parish priest at St. Peregrine Church at Tunasan, Muntinlupa City (The place where i grew up).
The grotto carved from the basalt cliffe 110-foot where an alter was constructed, above which was placed a full-sized replica of Michelangelo's Pieta.
We were the first visitor touring the grounds.
