Each paving stone that seasoned stonemason Allen Cerinetti placed on the ground marked a prayer by a college community and a pledge by a Catholic church congregation to build a memorial grotto in Dawsonville. “Every stone I put in there was a prayer,” Cerinetti said. “It was an act of faith, and it was inspired by the Holy Spirit.”
