A Legacy of Lourdanian Spirit: Mary-Jo Vidler's Bequest to the Grotto

The Lourdes Hill College Past Pupils’ Association is grateful for the bequest of Mary-Jo Vidler (Grad 1954) who recently left a gift to support the maintenance and upkeep of the LHC Grotto. This gesture of kindness will ensure that this sacred space, which holds a special place in the hearts of all Lourdanians, remains a beacon of hope and inspiration for generations to come.

Overlooking the Brisbane River, the Grotto is a place of reflection and spiritual connection. It is a place where many of us have forged memories from our time at the College and serves as a place where families gather to seek solace, offer prayers, and find peace. Mary-Jo Vidler's bequest will play a role in preserving the condition of the Grotto and ensuring its continued accessibility for all.

Mary-Jo's and her family's decision to leave a bequest to the Grotto reflects her deep commitment to the LHC community and her unwavering faith. Her legacy will live on, not only through the tangible improvements made to the Grotto but also in the hearts of those who find comfort and inspiration in its presence.

This generous gift reminds us of the profound impact we can have on our communities through thoughtful bequests. By considering a bequest in your estate plans, you too can leave a lasting legacy that will continue to benefit the LHC community for generations to come.
