In 1954 construction was started on what was to become the LaFluer Grotto. Joseph LaFluer concerned for his sons safety while fighting in WWII, in a prayer to Holy Mary Mother of God , asking her to intercede on his behalf to ask God to protect his son promised that if his son returned safely he would build a to her " Holy Mary " a monument in return. There is a visitors log book at the sight with the complete story. there is a kneeling bench for prayers
