For a truly unforgettable experience, take your family to Lourdes Grotto & Tepeyac de San Antonio, where the Oblates of Mary Immaculate of the Southern U.S. Province is honored with a perfect replica of the shrine from Lourdes, France. The Grotto resembles the cave where the Blessed Mother appeared to St. Bernadette. Within the Grotto, a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes looks down upon Bernadette kneeling in prayer. Not only is this cave for devotion to the Patroness of the Americas, but the Tepeyac also honors the work of Oblate missionaries among Latino communities in the U.S., Mexico, and beyond.
