Father Jack Topper, OSM, was a solemn professed friar and priest of the Order of Friar Servants of Mary (Servites) and served as Executive Director of The Grotto from 1991-2014.

Father Jack passed away April 12, 2025, at the age of 86.

The Grotto developed extensively under his leadership, and will continue to flourish for years to come thanks to his untiring work.

With the Father Jack Memorial Fund, we aim to honor him by restoring the cave, its statues, and the surrounding area.
