The Grotto of the Redemption: our last stop before Huron. Behind St Peter and Paul’s Church is the Grotto campground ( we’ve stayed their before).The Grotto is the life work of Father Paul Dobberstein who was a priest at the church for fifty-seven years. He constructed the Grotto from a mountain of precious stones, rocks and minerals. Agate, amethyst, jasper, calcite, milky quartz and many others were used. Father Dobberstein even received special dispensation to remove petrified wood from Petrified Forest Arizona. Around and inside the mountain are niches that portray the fall of man and his redemption by Christ. The very apex of the mountain is a cross and Pieta.
