Geocache Description:


A spring suddenly appears on the side of a cliff, sprouting out water from the rock, and there you go, the locals call it a miracle.

A shrine is build by the local Catholics, mostly Italians that immigrated to the city in the 1950s and 1960s from the regions of Abbruzzi and Calabria, and mass is performed outdoors every month on the 22nd day of the month. It is also performed in mid-August on the day of the Assumption of Mary, with singing of religious tunes in Italian language (song text printed on paper provided by volunteers). The outdoor Catholic mass is performed rain or shine, by priests of the nearby Parish of St. Regis.

Logging task: take an original photo of the site (could be a view, a close-up detail).
