About Saint Louis Bertrand Church in Louisville:
Built in the neo-gothic style, Saint Louis Bertrand Church is one of the most beautiful churches in the U.S. In addition, it has two special shrines of interest to visitors. The first is that of Our Lady of Lourdes and the second is a shrine to Saint Margaret of Costello.
The Grotto and Garden of Our Lady of Lourdes at Saint Bertrand Church in Louisville:
From the early days of St Louis Bertrand Parish there existed a great devotion to Mary’s Rosary. After Mary’s appearance at Lourdes in 1858 with a rosary in her hands, the parish planned and built a grotto similar to the one in Lourdes. This was one of the earliest Grotto Shrines to Our Lady of Lourdes erected in the world.
The Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes remains very similar today, though the running water has been removed and Stained-Glass windows of other apparitions have been added.
The Shrine of Saint Margaret of Castello at Saint Bertrand Church in Louisville:
A Shrine to Saint Margaret of Castello is also here in the church.
