Youth Pilgrimage -
Shrine of The Most Blessed Sacrament and Ave Maria Grotto
 |
| Divine Child Jesus or El Divino Niño Monument |
On Thursday, June 12 a group of 12 from St Bede went on a
pilgrimage to Hanceville and Cullman. We
stopped first at the Shrine of The Most Blessed Sacrament and had a tour and a
brief explanation of the history of the Blessed Sacrament and Bible. From there we went and said hi to Jesus in
The Temple of the Divine Child. The
monstrance is over 7’ tall and we were able to pray with the nuns the last
decade of the rosary. At 12:30 we attended
mass in the lower chapel. After mass we took pictures with the Divine Child
Jesus or El Divino Niño monument, stopped at the gift shop and headed to our
next destination. We stopped at William’s BBQ for lunch and we
all recharged our bodies for our next stop. We went to Cullman to visit the Ave Maria Grotto. Brother Bruno, previously known as Ryan Bravata,
was our tour guide. He showed us the
Grotto and explained all the miniatures buildings that Brother Joseph built. After the grotto we went to
take a tour of their church and the first saint he talked to us was St. BEDE
THE VENERABLE. Enjoy the pictures!
