Grailville was founded in 1944 by a group of visionary women who were part of the international Grail movement—a lay Catholic community committed to the conversion of themselves, those in their community, and the world. At a time when women had few leadership opportunities in the Church, the Grail was blazing a new trail. While The US Grail is no longer a lay Catholic community, The Grail and Grailville continues as a space for women on a spiritual journey through empowerment to transform themselves and the world.
During this tour, we’ll explore the stunning grounds, historic buildings, and hidden corners of Grailville while uncovering the fascinating story of the Grail’s arrival in the U.S., the important connection between faith and the land, and their global vision rooted right here in southwest Ohio.
