The Grotto
The Grotto, a cave of stones tucked between St. Mary’s and St. Joseph's lakes, was built by Rev. William Corby, C.S.C. A one–seventh replica of the famed French shrine at Lourdes where the Blessed Virgin appeared to Saint Bernadette, it is the site where students, faculty, staff, and visitors find quiet amidst the business of life at Notre Dame.
