"St. Joseph’s Parish began as a small community of 117 Slovak families in Endicott, who decided in 1918 to build a church of their own. They sought the help of the nearest Slovak parish of Saints Cyril & Methodius and its pastor Fr. Joseph Martinek."
"As of this year, St. Joseph’s has over 1,000 family members in our parish and continues to grow."
This could be called a grotto, "a natural or artificial cave used by humans in both modern times, and historically or prehistorically", also "A Marian shrine, usually built in a cavern-like structure."
