Summary

A fieldstone Arranmore Grotto at Holy Cross Cemetery was dedicated on September 1, 2007. The Beacon reported that Father Pat celebrated Mass for more than 70 people, with about 40 others observing, and that the intended statue from Peru had not yet arrived, so a church statue was borrowed.

Evidence limits

The report describes the dedication and the temporary statue arrangement; it does not establish when the intended statue arrived.
