​The National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes is a Catholic place of prayer devoted to the Blessed Mother, Mary. This beautiful mountainside shrine features one of the oldest American replicas of the Lourdes Grotto in France, built about two decades after the apparition of Mary at Lourdes in 1858.

Each year, the National Shrine Grotto draws thousands of pilgrims from all over the world. It is a place of worship, pilgrimage, conversion, and reconciliation.
