Why pilgrims come

Discover what makes Skaro Shrine a place of pilgrimage

An Alberta Marian grotto built by Polish Catholic settlers and used for the annual diocesan pilgrimage around the Assumption.

Skaro turns the grotto tradition of Lourdes into an Alberta settler-pilgrimage landscape. Visit for the Assumption liturgy and candlelight procession, or quietly outside the main gathering.

Editorial standard

This page records the site’s tradition as “Catholic.” That wording describes the nature of the claim and keeps devotional tradition distinct from independently verified history.
