Site of worship and pilgrimage since 1940 where you can visit a church and see the works of art it contains, including the main crucifix, a statue of Saint Joseph the Worker (by Médard Bourgault) and the eight stations of the Chemin des douleurs de Marie (work of Rose-Anne Mona, French ceramist). The tomb of the founder, Father Jean-Marie Watier, is located in the chapelle du Souvenir (Memorial Chapel) which is open 24 hours a day. Three small houses for retreat are available through all seasons for solitary contemplation. In beautifully landscaped exterior gardens, you will find a replica of the Lourdes grotto, a calvary, an outdoor altar, a Carrara marble statue of the archangel Saint Michel and seven bronze stations of the Chemin des douleurs de Marie.
