Episode Details

A century after its creation, the Tarnov grotto stands as a solemn tribute to WWI soldiers from the parish—sixteen enlisted, one lost. Inspired by a grotto he saw in Lourdes, soldier Andrew Jarosz proposed building this sacred space to honor those who returned and remember the fallen. Constructed in 1926 with sandstone from Minnesota and tufa rock from Kentucky, it mirrors the French original and is dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes. Now, the parish celebrates its 100th anniversary with a festive fall event featuring spaghetti, raffles, and community activities—all while spotlighting local history through the Tarnov Heritage Museum and St. Michael’s Historical Society. Everyone’s invited to reflect, reconnect, and celebrate a legacy of faith and resilience.
