San Antonio, Texas: The Oblate Grotto and Shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe

 

About the Oblate Grotto in San Antonio:

On their 5 acres of land in San Antonio, the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate have created two special places of prayer: Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto and Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas. The Lourdes Grotto is the most perfect replica in America of the original shrine in Lourdes, France.

There are daily Masses in both English and Spanish as well as exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in the chapel.

Many local families attend Mass here, but many visitors also make this a place to attend Mass when visiting San Antonio.

Both children and adults are awed by the Grotto and Mass seems to have a special effect on them. You can almost imagine yourself in Lourdes at the place where Saint Bernadette had her apparitions.

There is also a replica of Tepeyac Hill in Mexico where Our Lady appeared to Saint Juan Diego as Our Lady of Guadalupe. It honors not only Our Lady but also the Missionaries of the Oblate who minister to the Latino communities of the U.S., Mexico and South America.
