New grotto at Durward’s Glen built from stones of burned cathedral
DURWARD’S GLEN — Using stones from the burned St. Raphael Cathedral in Madison, local residents from Baraboo, Portage, and Merrimac desired to bring something sacred out of the ashes of the former cathedral.
Working with their own hands, they erected a grotto of Mary, Mother of God at Durward’s Glen located in the Baraboo bluffs.
As one local resident describes it, “the stones from the cathedral seem symbolic of the priests of the diocese and the structure itself the unity of the priests with the bishop and pope. As the grotto is only complete when the stones are fitted into the structure, so too the Church is only complete when her priests are in unity with the successors of the apostles.
