    Construction of the cave
    The then pastor Frans Porta, promoter and implementer of the church restoration, closely followed the construction of the school and the monastery. In 1913-14 he had a cave built from the surplus demolition material of the church and the cemetery wall on the remaining free corner next to the village square.

    Veulen's Lourdes Grotto, right opposite the church, has been standing on the corner next to the village square for more than 100 years. The then pastor Frans Porta had a cave built from the demolition material of the old church and the cemetery wall in 1914.
