De grot van Nerem, ook genaamd de Lourdesgrot, was een initiatief van de pastoor en zijn parochianen ter herinnering aan het 100 jarig bestaan van de parochie.
Zij werd ingehuldigd op 19 Juli 1942. Naast de grot werd in 1943 ook nog een kruisweg ingehuldigd (waar je ook nog stukken van terug vind). In 1946 werd de grot ook nog verrijkt met een beeld van Bernadette.(text from GC132TJ, archive)
De kapel vertoont diverse dankbordjes uit de oorlogsjaren 1943 en 1944.
