This massive Shrine-Grotto is a composite of all the major Marian shrines of the world. Our Lady of Lourdes, Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of LaSalette, Our Lady of Czestochowa are shrines of the Old World; Our Lady of Gaudalupe and the Canadian Shrine are shrines of the New World. In visiting this Shrine-Grotto, one cannot see all the separate shrines in one glance. It is suggested that visitors make individual, private pilgrimages to each shrine separately.
