The Future Is Now
Keeping your memory alive at The Grotto
You are invited to make a prayerful remembrance of you and your loved ones after death
by formulating a bequest to The Grotto in your will or living trust. By making
Mary's special shrine a beneficiary of your estate, you will share in every Mass and
prayer offered by the Servite Friars at The Grotto in the future. A daily Mass is
celebrated for all those enrolled in The Grotto's Perpetual Mass Guild, and there are
special spiritual and temporal benefits for those enrolled in The Grotto Bequest Society.
The Grotto also offers the opportunity to make a major gift during your lifetime so you
can see the results of your gift. Information on how to make a gift now or in the future
will be sent upon request.
Please contact our Office of Gift Planning at PO Box 20008, Portland, OR, 97294-0008 or
call (503) 261-2405, or direct inquiries to this website at varie@thegrotto.org. For legal purposes,
(wills, etc.) our title is: The Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother, Portland, Oregon.
