​The National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes is a place of prayer devoted to the Blessed Mother, Mary. This beautiful mountainside shrine features the oldest US replica of the Lourdes shrine in France, built just 17 years after the apparition of Our Lady to St. Bernadette in 1858. Each year, the National Shrine Grotto welcomes hundreds of thousands of pilgrims from all over the world. It is a place of worship, pilgrimage, evangelization, and reconciliation.
