Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto in Bulacan
Our Lady of Lourdes Church and Grotto is located in Graceville, San Jose del Monte City, Bulacan, just a few minutes from Quezon City. It is accessible by means of jeepney, bus and other public utility vehicles from major points in Bulacan and Metro Manila.

An exact replica of the Lourdes Grotto in France, it features a mock hill calvary where life-size statues depict the passion and death of Jesus Christ. This grotto attracts big crowds during the Lenten season. This was built by a Filipino who had cancer and was healed by his faith in Our Lady of Lourdes.

This religious place offers peace of mind and calmness of nature away from the noisy and busy streets of Bulacan, Metro Manila and neighboring provinces. A perfect place for reflections, prayers and recollection.

The replicas of Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto in the Philippines are also found in Cotabato City, Mindanao and Baguio City, Benguet. (Photo April 2010, Bulacan)
