From the national shrine grotto website in part:
"The stone wall reproduction of the Lourdes Grotto in France was initiated by President Fr. John A. Watterson and constructed by Mount St. Mary's seminarians in 1879. The purpose of the project was to commemorate the apparitions which had taken place 21 years earlier in France and which had been approved in 1862.
