Father DeoGracias Lingao, a retired priest in residence at St. Peter’s Boys High School on Staten Island, blesses the newly restored Mary Grotto outside St. Margaret Mary Church, also on Staten Island, on the feast of the Assumption, Aug. 15. The grotto was restored by Christopher Quinn, a 17-year-old student at St. Peter’s Boys High School, as part of his Eagle Scout project.

Christopher also built four moveable bookcases with other scouts for the parish religious education program at St. Margaret Mary. He is joined by his uncle, Terry Dalton, one of the family members who assisted with the building.
