Whether you’re seeking enlightenment or just a peaceful stroll on wooded paths, this beautiful fieldstone replica of the Grotto Lourdes in France, constructed by Litchfield’s Monfort Brothers seminarians in the 1950s, provides a bit of solace. Open-air masses are held May to October but the grounds are open year-round.
