Archbishop Beckman To Dedicate Mount Mercy Grotto
The Mount Mercy grotto and shrine, built and donated by W. H. Lightner, opens with a 4 p.m. ceremony led by Archbishop F. J. Beckman and Mayor Frank Hahn. The 12-year project features global rocks, a stone bridge, and seven stations of the sorrowing Mother of Christ, with a Virgin statue to be placed.
