The Face of Jesus In The Tree

The next photo comes from back in 1960. This was probably one of the most-photographed items on the property ever. If you look under the little A-frame roof, you might just see the image of a face looking right back at you.


This was a big attraction for visitors for over 50 years until the tree was felled by a windstorm in the early 70's. This tree was directly behind the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes which was at the base of what is now called Holy Family Hill. There was a big bench at the base of the tree and people would sit there for hours praying the rosary and reading.

Even though the tree is gone, people still come to sit and pray. Some things never change.
