Phase 1 of the project below ends September 30, 2023.
The price will increase to $150 on October 1, 2023.
After many years of thoughtful footsteps, the pathways of the Marian Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes at Orchard Lake St. Mary’s have given way to age and are in need of repair. The Mary Project needs your help to sustain this prayerful space.
We are soliciting your support to repave the walkways and paths, starting with the walkway from the Grotto towards the lake. It will be paved with custom bricks to make it much more attractive and durable than poured concrete, and we are asking that you donate one or more of the bricks.
You may individualize a brick for you, or your family, honor a loved one or create an in-memoriam message. The donated bricks will become a part of the Grotto, paving the way for generations of visitors. As a friend of the Grotto and Orchard Lake Schools, please take advantage of this exceptional opportunity to have your commemorative brick(s) become a permanent part of this prayerful space.
Construction will be done in phases as we replace sections of the walkways. You may order bricks beginning June 1, 2023, and sales will continue until the project is completed. We are hoping to start construction in fall 2023 so please place your order as soon as possible.
The bricks are 4” x 8” x 2 1/4” and are engraved using state-of-the-art laser technology. Every brick engraving is guaranteed for life!
All donations are tax deductible. EIN: 82-5453994
