Geode Grotto, located in Jasper, IN, was constructed in the 1960s under the guidance of Father Philip Ottavi, inspired by the Grotto of Lourdes in France. The grotto spans several acres and features unique structures made primarily from geodes found in a nearby creek, exemplifying community effort and creativity.
The centerpiece of the Grotto includes twin shrines dedicated to Mary and St. Joseph, further enriching its spiritual significance. In recent developments, St. Mary's local hospital has taken steps to preserve this unique landmark by relocating some structures to ensure its continued legacy.
